Dear D5170 International Service Colleagues:
We're starting a new Rotary Year! I'd like to invite you to our inaugural meeting on Thursday 7/16 4 to 5:30 pm Pacific time, with 15 minutes on both ends for fellowship and general discussion. All meetings will be recorded and circulated.
I plan to keep the basic agenda format I used last Rotary Year:
- Highlighted speaker
- Fundraising pitches
- Travel for service: trip reports, invitations to travel, project fairs
Feel free to invite others in your Clubs to join us, including any of your colleagues interested in international service activity. There'll be something to spark the joy of Rotary service in everyone...after all, don't they call it ROTARY INTERNATIONAL?
If there's no Chair, no worries, feel free to forward to any Rotarian interested in international service -- ALL WELCOME. Now's the time to open our eyes to new opportunities to engage in international service!
DG Geeta, LGs, AGs and Grant Review Subcommittee: please feel free to invite any D5170 Rotarians who are interested in international service! Would love to grow the collaboration!
Please see the 7/16 DIS Draft Agenda below.
AND don't forget to register for the Rotary Collaborative Impact Summit on 9/16/26. There are 2 links - one link for Rotarians and the other for any nonprofit partner who would like to join us. Show your colleagues what your club is doing for our international communities!
Let me know if you have any ideas, contributions, additions to membership, or informational needs. Looking forward to continue serving you all!
Let’s “Create Lasting Impact!”
In Rotary Service,
Mauri
