Have you ever seen a Zorb Ball competition? Have you made a contribution to the Rotary Foundation? Have you ever wanted to share in bragging rights? Well now is your chance!
DGE Johnny Ahern will be representing our amazing District 7910 in a Zorb Competition in Toronto for the Zone 28 & 32 Leadership training!
We are excited to bring Visioning back to District 7910. Visioning helps clubs produce a strategy to become irresistible, resulting in a plan for membership attraction and retention while creating impactful opportunities for service to our communities. Visioning is a facilitator-led exercise where we guide clubs to develop a strategic road map consistent with Rotary's Action Plan through a facilitator-led process.

Take a look at that history with this description of what Rotary does.
Has your club installed a Peace Pole? Have you put it on the map? The Rotary Action Group for Peace (RAGFP) maps Peace Poles for all Peacebuilders of Rotary and beyond. Peace Poles are a monument to Rotarian peace action. You can put YOUR Peace pole on the map!

Want to increase membership in your club but haven't had success? The single best way to sign up new members to your club is to be the positive "IMPACT" in your local community.

Intensity, passion, discipline, and raw ambition drive me. Little did I know, that by volunteering to help weed the rotary in Watertown, the meaning of such adjectives would not only be met, but also exceeded. Innocently, I volunteered to help our Rotary chapter with the task at hand.
