In a time of social upheaval, where should America go?
Chicago Rotarian Xavier Ramey says the key to creating an equitable society is understanding where we’ve been

Seventy-five percent of the world’s plant species are dependent on pollinators, such as the monarch, to survive
History: A Home for Headquarters
The idea that Rotary should own its headquarters dates back at least to the 1920 convention, when RI President Albert Adams said that he hoped to someday see the headquarters in a beautiful building of Rotary’s own.
Hunger hits home: The pandemic reminds us that food insecurity isn’t just ‘over there’
Hunger and malnutrition unleashed by COVID-19 could carry the impact of the pandemic far into the future.
In the face of a pandemic, the important work of fighting polio must continue
Rotary and its partners have mobilized disease-fighting infrastructure to respond to COVID-19 —while remaining dedicated to eradicating polio
Giving Tuesday, December 1, is a day to start the holiday season on a charitable note. Here are some reasons why The Rotary Foundation should be your charity of choice.

Gather together, virtually, and tour Rotarians' holiday-decorated homes, inside and out. Please send a few photos of your lights or Christmas village or gnome collection to Jenn at jenngrisi@gmail.com to be part of the show (deadline end of day December 12th please). Or if you don't have the energy or inclination to decorate this year, just come for the tour. Eggnog, glogg or what have you in hand.
Rassemblez-vous, virtuellement, et faites le tour des maisons décorées de vacances des Rotariens, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur. Veuillez envoyer quelques photos de vos lumières ou de votre village de Noël ou de votre collection de gnomes à Jenn à jenngrisi@gmail.com pour participer au spectacle (date limite : fin du jour le 12 décembre s'il vous plaît). Ou si vous n'avez pas l'énergie ou l'envie de décorer cette année, venez simplement pour la visite. Eggnog, glogg ou ce que vous avez sous la main. Joignez-vous au Rotariens du District 7040 à partir du 19 decembre à 16 h.

So many Rotarians want to do more to address causes locally and internationally through Rotary’s 7 Areas of Focus. We try to be there in person when we can. We also have the opportunity to help others globally; to improve the quality of life for others here and abroad. Being a retired teacher does not limit me in my continued quest to help educate children, youth, and adults. I belong to a RAG (Rotary Action Group) for Literacy and support the education of a child in Guatemala.

Members of the Rotary Club of West Ottawa enjoyed tree planting while social distancing with Ottawa Councillor Jean Cloutier in Billings Park. Volunteers planted 200 trees in sun-soaked, crisp morning greenspace. Read more about the event at https://riverviewparkreview.ca | Club members and their guests also committed to supporting the environment by attending Ottawa Riverkeeper ‘s Shoreline Cleanup in Jacques Cartier Park. Volunteers collected 400 pounds of garbage along the shoreline overlooking the Ottawa River. Another fun-filled project supporting our watershed. You can find more information at www.ottawariverkeeper.ca | |
Our two projects are in line with RI’s seventh area of focus: Environmental Sustainability.

Rotary International has been working to eradicate polio in the world for the last thirty years with stunning success, with only three countries remaining in an endemic state. Rotarians have helped to immunize over 2.5 billion children around the world. Rotarians will not stop in our efforts to eliminate this disease.
Dutch Rotarians have led a most unique program to benefit our fight. In 2013, they purchased the rights to name and develop a new variety of tulip bulbs. The idea has “blossomed” into an internationally successful fundraiser, with more than 1.5 MILLION bulbs being sold, and so far, generating more than $2 MILLION (US) to Rotary International’s End Polio Now campaign. To date, Switzerland, Germany, France, and the USA have joined with Holland. Canada is now in its second year.
Vesey’s Bulbs of PEI is Canada’s sole supplier of this unique bulb. Every step along the way, donors have provided such funding that over $18 from each $25 box (of 25 bulbs) goes back to Rotary International, to be matched 2 to 1 by the Bill Gates Foundation!
We are excited to announce that Rotaract District 7040 has joined the recently formed Rotaract Canada! This is a great opportunity for Rotaractors in our district to get involved with Rotary at a new level. By joining Rotaract Canada, Rotaractors in our district will have access to new opportunities to serve, learn, and connect. As stated on their website, Rotaract Canada is a MDIO, meaning they “spread information about service projects and events and foster communication between districts”. Through joining Rotaract Canada, members in our district will have even more opportunities for personal and professional development and leadership training.
