So, first I want to thank all the women in our club for their participation and leadership. Currently we have fifty-one male and forty-nine female members. (Looks like the women should out recruit the men to gain control! 🙂) Seriously, the club could not function without the effort our female members have put in for the club.
Also, Jennifer E. Jones, a member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Ontario, Canada, has been nominated to become Rotary International’s president for 2022-23, a groundbreaking selection that will make her the first woman to hold that office in the Rotary's 115-year history. Congratulations Jennifer!

Rick Harnish co-founded the High Speed Rail Alliance in 1993 with a passion for revitalizing the region he grew up in, lives in, and loves. The Alliance builds the political will for systemic change by advocating for integrated rail and transit networks connected by 200+ mph high-speed lines. By connecting cities, towns and airports, the high-speed trains will dramatically expand economic opportunities and slash carbon emissions. A native of the Chicago area, Harnish has been MHSRA’s executive director since 2001. His perspective on trains and transportation policy has appeared in Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Politico, Governing, the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Magazine, Crain’s Chicago and many other publications, in addition to various NPR programs. He has achieved notable successes and progress in MHSRA’s three focus areas: advocacy, education, and research. Harnish’s work is informed by his strong commitment to researching and learning from global best practices. He has ridden high-speed trains—often in the context of leading small groups—in Belgium, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, and Turkey, and he draws on a global network of colleagues with expertise in trains and transportation policy
So much in our lives depends on access to clean water. We wash our hands with it to keep ourselves and our communities healthy, cook meals with it to nourish our bodies, and rely on it for proper sanitation. Yet there are still communities around the world that don't have reliable sources of clean water. You can help ensure that people everywhere have access to this valuable resource with a gift to The Rotary Foundation.
When people have clean water and sanitation, it means waterborne diseases decrease, children stay healthier, and parents can spend less time carrying water and more time with their families. How does a gift to the Rotary Foundation make this happen?
Your gift helps fund water, sanitation, and hygiene programs that empower Rotary's people of action to mobilize resources, form partnerships, and invest in infrastructure and training that all yield long-term change. The Foundation's goal is to supply everyone with safe water, sanitation, and hygiene education by 2030.
This World Water Day, we hope you can take action and click here to make a donation to ensure clean water for those who need our help in communities around the world. (If you are a member of Rotary, be sure to sign in and donate to the annual fund.)
