Mike Hackett has been speaking to the MC Rotary annually about the investment markets and giving his own predictions on them for almost 10 years. It’s time for him to do it again.
A year after Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico, local Rotary members continue to rebuild homes and lives. Mayagüez is home to 75,000 people and to the island’s second-oldest Rotary club after San Juan. In the past, the club carried out smaller projects, but the massive devastation caused by Maria motivated members to do more to help their neighbors, especially the very poor.
Ten years ago, a loose association of Rotarians fielded a team that rode in El Tour de Tucson and raised about $10,000 ($30,000 if you include the match by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). Eighty-five cyclists came to Tucson in 2018 from as far away as France and Australia. Cumulatively since the idea was birthed, the ride has raised over $53.3 million.
Rotary International President-elect Mark Daniel Maloney explained his vision for building a stronger Rotary, calling on leaders to expand connections to their communities and to embrace innovative membership models. A member of the Rotary Club of Decatur, Alabama, USA, Maloney unveiled the 2019-20 presidential theme, Rotary Connects the World, to incoming district governors at Rotary’s annual training event, the International Assembly, in San Diego, California, USA.
Joi Burton had always had a dream of going to Africa. When she read an article in The Rotarian that a Rotary club from Oregon was inviting people to take part in a service project to Kenya, she signed right up. That was the beginning of a long and productive relationship between her club at the time and the people of Kenya, demonstrating the magic of Rotary.
Ordinary Rotarians can find themselves in extraordinary circumstances. In the January issue of The Rotarian, members tell in their own words what it's like to survive a plane crash, visit Rotary clubs in 22 countries, fall in love through Rotary, fly around the world alone, and more.
