Each year, Rotary members around the world come together on World Polio Day, October 24th, to raise awareness and support Rotary’s promise to end polio for good. This day is not only a chance to highlight Rotary’s global impact but also an opportunity for every club and member to take action locally.
Whether you host a small fundraiser, a community gathering, or collaborate with neighboring clubs, your efforts make a difference. Every dollar raised for PolioPlus is tripled by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation 2:1 match, multiplying your impact in the fight to eradicate polio.
This year, our district has set a bold goal: to welcome 100 PolioPlus Society Members, each committing to an annual gift of $100. Becoming a PolioPlus Society member is a simple yet powerful way to sustain Rotary’s mission and move us closer to a polio-free world.
Rotary thrives on service, fellowship, and the power of storytelling. Now, with access to Canva for 50 clubs across District 7910, members gain a powerful new tool to share their impact with the world.
Canva makes it simple to create professional-quality graphics, flyers, social media posts, newsletters, presentations, and event materials—all while following Rotary’s branding guidelines. District 7910 has already uploaded every club’s official logo, along with the correct color palette, fonts, and ready-to-use templates. This means every design is both beautiful and brand-compliant, giving clubs confidence and consistency in their messaging.

Public Image Primer: 3 Rotary Logos Do's and Don'ts
1. DO use your custom Club logo all the time. DG Elliott's Westborough Club's logo is perfect. If you're not using a logo that looks similar, you can find your Club logo in this folder. If you're club is using the "old" wheel/gear/cog that has yellow and blue, you gotta change it.
2. DON'T use the Rotary "Mark of Excellence" for your Club's program, event, or anything. Use your Club's custom logo for everything.
3. DON'T use the Presidential "Create Hope in the World" theme logo for anything that will go to folks who are not Rotary members. That's why the banner at the top of this newsletter no longer has the logo below.
To conform to Rotary's brand guidelines, you'll have the easiest time if you never use that logo at all, beautiful as it may be.
