You have probably noticed that as of last July 1, we have not distributed any flyers, notices, or announcements that use the old Rotary logo. We want to avoid confusion, build awareness and trust in our Rotary brand, and through consistency, attract new members, donors, and community support.
You should be doing the same. Use only this "new" Rotary logo and branding.
