2020-2021 Rotary Theme
Rotary International President-elect Holger Knaack is encouraging Rotarians to seize the many opportunities Rotary offers to enrich their lives and the communities they serve.
In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Day, let us remember that discrimination is allowed to flourish if we all look the other way. If we do not use every opportunity to invite someone in, to welcome someone, to reach out, then we allow discrimination to grow. It can be frightening to be open to someone that thinks differently, looks different, has a different history or lifestyle. We must meet people where they are and welcome them to Rotary. Let’s pledge to be sure our clubs reflect our communities. That the door to a Rotary club is open to all and that, in our District, in our clubs, EVERYONE is invited to take a seat at the table.
