22 February 2024 Dear fellow Rotary leaders: As we begin a new year of service, let us not forget the importance of every one of Rotary’s members. We need your leadership now more than ever if we are to make every club and district an irresistible experience. Rotary has a chance to capture the world’s attention and realize possibilities beyond our expectations. But we must build on the work that has come before us if we are to reach our goals, such as defeating polio and unlocking the power of girls and women. Rotary offers people of action a chance to connect and find belonging, and this fellowship gives us the potential to improve our communities and the world. By following Rotary’s Action Plan and helping make sure all members feel a sense of belonging in their club, you have a special opportunity to inspire members to new heights of service. Our ability to create lasting change begins with our family of Rotary. Together, it is within our power to bring healing in a divided world. Join me in making Rotary a source of strength for those who need it most, within and beyond our membership. Let this be the year we harness The Magic of Rotary, and let Rotary be known as an organization that takes care of its members as well as the people we serve. It is within your power to help make Rotary a beacon of goodwill and fellowship in every community. Remember that your work can and will change the world with The Magic of Rotary. Warm regards,
Stephanie A.Urchick
Rotary International President, 2024-202
