ImageI am pleased to inform you that earlier today RI President-Elect Ron D. Burton announced the 2013-2014 theme, “Engage Rotary, Change Lives”

The theme announcement was made during the opening plenary session of the International Assembly, the annual training event in San Diego for incoming district governors. In explaining how he came to choose the theme, President-Elect Burton said, “If we really want to take Rotary service forward, then we must make sure that every single Rotarian has the same feeling about Rotary that each one of us here has today. We need to make sure that every Rotarian has a meaningful role to play, that they’re all making a contribution, and that their contribution is valued.”

Go to the  Rotary International website to read more and to see the new logo.

 I look forward to working with engaged District 6440 Rotarians during 2013-2014 to change lives.

Yours in Rotary Service,

Sarah Oliver

2013-2014 District Governor
