Building Bridges, Connecting Communities
Membership Is How We Keep Rotary Growing
October is Economic and Community Development Month, a reminder that healthy people are essential to strong families and thriving communities. That is why our work to end polio belongs so naturally in this month's conversation. I returned from the Rotary Zones 26 and 27 Institute energized by one central message: people connect with Rotary when they experience its impact.
Rotary International President-elect Larry Lunsford challenged us to grow to 1.25 million Rotarians and 125,000 Rotaractors by Rotary's 125th anniversary in 2030. Reaching that goal requires more than recruitment; it means inviting people into meaningful service. From October 2 through World Polio Day on October 24, District 5130 clubs are doing exactly that through the End Polio Now Torch Relay, carrying one torch and one mission from Crescent City to Petaluma.
