POP-UP SHOP IS BACK OPEN!
 
At the request of several clubs, we have opened another pop-up shop so you can get your t-shirts, ball caps, and other Team Rotary merchandise. Remember, wearing your team shirts for approved events results in more points for your team! In order to deliver these products at the Halftime Show in January, ORDERS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY NEXT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13TH.
Join us for the Halftime Show (Midyear Checkup), where club presidents will share how their clubs embody The Magic of Rotary. This event is open to ALL Rotarians and is a great opportunity to learn and exchange ideas on service projects, fundraisers, and events. Each President will have TWO MINUTES to highlight their club's work. Assistant Governors will introduce presidents by territory, and district leaders will share updates on upcoming initiatives and opportunities. There's no cost to attend, and a light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to help us plan for food.

December marks Disease Prevention and Treatment Month, a time for Rotary to focus on our commitment to fighting disease and promoting health. 

Why It Matters
Disease causes pain, suffering, and loss of income, impacting individuals and communities. Early prevention and access to treatment are key to reducing these burdens.

How Can Our Clubs Help?

  • Support local health initiatives by partnering with hospitals or clinics for health check-ups or vaccination drives.
  • Raise awareness about preventive measures and healthy living through community events or workshops.
  • Fundraise for health projects that provide necessary medical supplies, treatments, or services in underserved areas.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in promoting health and preventing disease.
