Dear fellow Rotarians:

We have been through trying times together. We have helped the world cope with Uncertainty and adapt to rapid change. Now is the time for us to dream big.

It is time for us to take on major challenges, to do more and grow more, and most of all, for us to care for and share with others.

This year, we note all the ways that we Serve to Change Lives. Service is the rent we pay for our time on earth and we will expand Rotary service as we “grow more and do more.” We will grow through “Each One, Bring One.” If every Rotary member could bring just one more person to Rotary, there is no limit to how much we can grow. We will do more by putting a special emphasis on empowering girls, so young women can have improved opportunities worldwide. We will also feature Rotary Days of Service, so that all members share in our good works around the globe and look for new ways to serve beyond their backyards.

It is our attitude that defines service. We all have a great opportunity to lead by example and to inspire each other to participate in projects that have a measured and sustained impact.

The District Board has assumed important responsibilities and I thank them for this hard work. They have made a commitment to help grow Rotary, adapt to the digital future and make Rotary more appealing to younger generations.

Your good work will help us serve our communities and help Rotary thrive so we can Serve to Change Lives.

Kindest regards,

Shekhar Mehta
Rotary International President, 2021-22
