Dear Rotary leader,
I am excited to announce that we are collaborating with Kiwanis International, Lions International, and Optimist International for our third annual Celebrate Community Week!
During the week of 11-17 September, we’re encouraging Rotary and Rotaract clubs to partner with local Kiwanis, Lions, and Optimist clubs on a service project that will have a long-term impact in your community. (Use the club finder tools to locate Kiwanis, Lions, and Optimist clubs near you.) To get started, work with a local social service organization or with local government officials to learn what your community needs and how you can plan the most effective project.
Tell your neighbors — and us — about your joint service project by sending out a news release, posting on social media with #CelebrateCommunity, and adding the project to Rotary Showcase.
We can do more when we work together. Let’s harness the collective power of our four organizations’ 3.4 million members and Celebrate Community together.
Sincerely,
John Hewko
Rotary General Secretary and CEO
