November 2023 District 6080 Newsletter

The leaves have begun changing color and much is happening with clubs in District 6080 during November—Foundation month. It has been said that Rotary was started with the efforts of one man, Paul Harris, in Chicago. Every Rotarian’s donation, just one person at a time, can help the Rotary Foundation to impact parts of the world where help is needed
most. Individual donations compiled together with other individual donor gifts provide the financial wherewithal for grants that address community needs in all parts of the world. Giving to the Foundation helps fulfill the commitment of doing good in the world.

August 2023 District 6080 Newsletter

Gordon McInally, Rotary International president, has asked for clubs to work on “Peace through Virtual Exchange,” an area that already has seen progress, using technology to create opportunities to share information with people in countries where there is a need. Virtual Exchange has much potential for developing educational tools to reach young people. There are already social platforms in which there is communication to developing nations.

July 2023 District 6080 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to a new year that brings new leaders to the fore with their own unique vision on how they want to lead Rotary, at the club, district and at Rotary International.
