Message from RI PRESIDENT ਷ყҧቃٟڗ˖ѓ

Dear fellow Rotary leaders, ፋฌٙҧቃჯኬɛࡁj
As you attend your Institute, do not
forget your vital importance to Rotary. ຅આਞ̋޼୦ึࣛdሗʶҙাઆ࿁ҧቃٙЇᗫࠠ
We have been handed the reins of ࠅ׌fίவࡈዝ̦ࣛՍdҢࡁ஗બʚჯኬfҧቃϞዚึ
leadership at an historic moment. ᐏ੻˰ޢٙᗫءၾႩᗆ̙ٙঐ׌d൴˷əҢࡁٙཫಂf
Rotary has a chance to capture
the world’s attention and realize ν؈ҢࡁࠅྼତҢࡁٙͦᅺdۆ̀඲ܔͭ˸ɨʈЪމਿ
possibilities beyond our expectations. ᓾfԷνj኷௷ʃՅ௦ຌसձረʚɾᛆf
But we must build on the work that
has gone before us if we are to reach our goals, such as ҧቃމБਗ౤ԶᑌᖩၾʹݴٙዚึdϾঐᜫɛҬՑ
defeating polio and empowering girls and women.

Rotary offers people of action a chance to connect and
find a sense of belonging, and this fellowship gives us ҷᜊfШ݊࿁׵อڿޥઋɽݴБdϞһεٙɛˢ˸ֻช
hope that we can create lasting change. But in the wake Ցഒૐf஢εɛ̰̘əЇፋλʾd຅໊ٟၣ༩஗୅ৰி
of the COVID-19 pandemic, more people than ever feel
hopeless. Many have lost people close to them. Social ϓʱᕎ̋ᄌdટഹ̰̘ᑌഖ̙ٙঐۆᜊ੻һ̋ᄿعf
networks have been uprooted and divisions have grown
wider as opportunities for connection have been lost. ί˰ޢϞ஢εή˙݊ೌஈ̙రӋᏍпdආϾڮԴ
To make matters worse, in many parts of the world, asking ԫઋһ̋ెʷdˈՉίːଣ਄ੰჯਹٙᗫᕿd஗ႩމϞ
for help—especially in the realm of mental health — is הॹ௘fШ݊ӚϞʡჿঐჃ௷׵ॆ޴ٙѓͣdۇ౲וႩ
considered a weakness. But nothing could be further
from the truth. It is brave to be vulnerable and to admit ІʉٙঌࢮձІʉӚϞ༆Ӕ˙ࣩdరӋᏍп݊ۇ౲ٙڌ
you don’t have all the answers. Reaching out for help is ତ--ԨމܵᚃԐί਄ੰʘ༩һცࠅνϤਂf
courageous—and continuing on a path towards wellness
is even more so.

Join me in making Rotary a source of strength for all of ၾڢٟࡰdԟԬชᙂІʉӚϞҎૐٙɛfᜫʦϋϓމҢ
those who feel they have no hope, within and beyond our
membership. Let this be the year we Create Hope in the ࡁމ˰ޢ௴ிҎૐٙɓϋdᜫҧቃ஗၈މ݊ɓࡈ؂ਕɛ

takes care of its members as well as the people we serve.
It is within your power to help bring peace and soothe ίЫঐɢʫ̘Ꮝп੭Ըձ̻ʿᇠձԟԬա߮׵˼ࡁ
those afflicted by conflict, both in their communities and in ٟٙਜձІʉ͛ݺʕٙላᏘfҢҎૐઆঐҪவϣ޼୦ึ
themselves.

I hope you take the knowledge gained at this Institute back to
your clubs to help them succeed throughout the coming year. ϓ̌fা੻આٙЪމਗ਼ঐމ˰ޢ௴ிҎૐf
Remember that your work can and will Create Hope in the
World.
