🔁 Try Something New
I encourage you—and your club-to start 2026 with a learning mindset. Here are a few easy ideas to spark momentum:
✅ Check out the Rotary Learning Center-amazing resources on everything from Foundation to public image
✅ Sign up for RLI (Rotary Leadership Institute)-a fun, in-person way to meet Rotarians from other clubs and grow your Rotary toolbox (Check out www.rlinea.org FMI)
✅ Visit another club—it’s one of the best ways to get inspired
✅ Try a new meeting format bring in a vocational speaker or host a community Q&A
✅ Reach out to someone in your club you don’t know well and learn their Rotary story
🎯 January’s Focus Areas
This month, we celebrate two key themes:
Vocational Service-the heart of Rotary’s second Avenue of Service. It's about bringing integrity and purpose into everything we do-in our work, our relationships, and our Rotary service. It’s also about honoring and using our professional skills to make our
communities stronger.
Rotary Awareness-which is really about telling our story. Who are we? Why does this matter? And how can we help others see the value of belonging to something bigger than themselves? If you haven’t done a club program on Rotary 101 or shared Rotary stories on
social media lately, January is a great time to start.
