Discover the power of The Rotary Foundation

Join us for an engaging, interactive session designed to deepen your understanding of The Rotary Foundation—its mission, its funding model, and its global impact.

Together, we’ll answer key questions:

• What is the Foundation’s purpose…. Why does it exist?

• Where does the money go…...How your contributions are used?

• Why giving matters?

• Who your generosity impacts…. Beneficiaries and community outcomes? 

• How we measure the impact we make and celebrate our results?

Pick Your Breakout Session—Created With You in Mind

·      Presidents & Presidents‑Elect — Build an Action Plan That Truly Works for Your Club!

We'll reflect on this Rotary year: the wins, the hurdles, what you’ve learned, and what guidance you want to share with your incoming Presidents. Together, we will develop an action plan tailored to your Club’s specific needs. This resource promotes leadership continuity, clarifies direction, increases member involvement, and helps cultivate a purposeful—and enjoyable—club experience.

• New to Rotary? A Session for Members with Under 3 Years of Service
  Let’s keep the conversation going!

If you’re new to the Rotary family, you’re not alone.
Maybe you joined us in September—or maybe this is your first step.
If you’re still learning to navigate the many layers of Rotary, how you can get connected and serve with confidence, and how you can make a meaningful contribution to your Club and our District, this session is for you.

• Assistant Governors — Strengthening the Link Between the District Governor and Our Rotary Clubs

This session brings you and our AG Coordinator together to reflect on the past six months—what you’ve accomplished, what you’ve learned, and what creative approaches you’ve tried. You’ll learn from each other’s experiences and prepare for the year ahead.
We’ll also explore what the new Rotary year looks like for your Area and how you can continue to build strong, supportive relationships with your Area Clubs and the District Governor.

• Rotarians… This One’s for You!

Rotary is experiencing many changes, and we invite you to be part of the conversation. PDG Dr. Billy Roberts will guide a discussion to help us explore these changes together. You’ll have the opportunity to share your concerns, offer ideas to strengthen both our Clubs and our District, and identify new ways to enhance engagement.

District 7950 Mid Year Meeting for all Rotarians and this is the third of five events that are a part of the DG Rotary Club Challenge.
