Water is something we all need, and it’s essential for people to survive. But about 770 million people around the globe don’t have access to safe, clean water. That’s 1 person in every 10. Today, on World Water Day, we want to raise awareness about that and raise funds for projects to change it.
You can help The Rotary Foundation support member-led projects and activities that give people access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education and promote healthy societies.
What impact can your gift have? Donors like you have supported these sustainable, life-changing projects around the world:
- Improving access to safely managed water in the Navajo Nation
- Installing and expanding access to water and sanitation in Tanzania
- Distributing clay water filters to communities in Brazil
- Supplying clean water to 3,000 people in Papua New Guine
- Installing water filtration systems for schools in Lebanon
Together, we can make sure communities around the world have the clean water they need.

- Explore and practice new concepts of leadership and citizenship
- Discover creative approaches for resolving family, social and professional conflicts
- Experience the joy and the value of learning teamwork to get an advantage for the future
- Challenge participants to exhibit “Service Above Self” in their communities and lives
Join us on Wednesday, March 29th, at 6:00 PM for an informative Public Image Committee webinar on the use of the Rotary Brand Center. The Brand Center is available to all Rotary Clubs and all Rotarians and is your source for graphic materials that comply with the Rotary brand guidelines.
We will cover the following points in this webinar:
- How to access the Rotary Brand Center
- How to create customized Rotary Club logos for your club
- How to create customized People of Action graphics for your club
- How to access the image library at the Brand Center and what you can expect to find there
A brand is more than just a logo, but a logo is a big part of our visual identity. When the public sees it throughout their community, they begin to think of Rotary members as people of action. Using the same visual elements unites Rotary, Rotaract, and Interact and allows us, as a diverse global organization, to tell our story with one voice.
We will conclude with a Q&A session, where you can ask the Public Image committee anything!
Please click here to go to the registration page and register for the webinar. The Zoom link will be sent to all registered attendees on the day of the event.

Rotary Life on Land Symposium - Connecting the World through Sustainability
August 31, to September 3, 2023
Rotary International Zones 28/32
Nature has a finite capacity to regenerate itself in the face of pressures on its land, water, and air resources.
Our speakers will address sustainability and solutions, both in the Arctic as well as from a worldwide perspective.

The goal of No Mow May is to allow grass to grow un-mown for the month of May, allowing wild flowers to come through and creating habitat and forage for early season pollinators. This is particularly important in urban areas where floral resources are often limited.
The District Assembly is our next step in the journey of training incoming club leaders for the upcoming Rotary year 2023-24, including the Grant Qualification Seminar, which is open to all club members.
This year we will be in-person again and will be meeting at the Four Points Sheraton in Wakefield on Wednesday, April 12.
For the Grant Qualification Seminar we recommend that each club send at least two members to attend - but there is no limit. If your club grant committee includes multiple members, it would be ideal if they could all attend and get qualified. The District Assembly is open to all Rotarians in our district!
The evening will begin at 5:30PM with five parallel tracks for:
- Presidents-Elect – Post PETS
- AGs
- Secretaries
- Membership and PI Chairs
- Foundation Chairs




We also discussed RYLA with the Club and we will now be sponsoring a few participants!

150 books were collected and more were promised on the day of the book pickup. Cambridge Rotary thanks librarian Daina Bouquin for her readiness to help and promote the book drive through emails and support. "With the support of local partners, Cambridge Rotary can expand its outreach and awareness of its community service efforts," explains Natascha Finnerty, member and organizer of the drive.
