JANUARY, 2014 BULLETIN- ‘PHOENIX’

January is Rotary Awareness Month – a time to learn more about our organization. The more we're known for our good work, the more good work we'll be able to do. Rotary International, on its website, however, explains further and encourages us to:

“Celebrate Rotary Awareness Month by training members on Rotary history, programs, or how to raise awareness of your club’s projects among your community. Or, ask members to share a personal story or experience that they have had because of Rotary. Every Rotarian has a Rotary story that can be educational and inspiring. The beginning of a new year is a good opportunity to renew inspiration for the rest of the Rotary year.”

Rotary International Convention will be held at Sydney, Australia from 1^st to 4^th June, 2014. The 2014 RI Convention will bring together some of the world’s leading experts on water, polio, and social media. We'll find new ideas for service — and perhaps a new partner for creating change — in the House of Friendship. Considering its abundant beauty and recreational opportunities in Australia,  the Sydney convention is  expected to be the perfect venue to experience Rotary's global impact and strengthen our commitment to creating positive change.

Members can plan to make this convention a memorable family vacation. At Rotary our endeavor is  always to  sit with new people at every opportunity, introducing ourselves  and learning about them, their Rotary club, and their country.
