Rotary International
has designated certain months of the year as times for Rotary clubs
to emphasize the involvement of all Rotarians in designated activities.
Clubs are encouraged to plan special programs on the appropriate topics
during these months. The special months, listed in sequence of their occurrence
during the Rotary year (1 July to 30 June) are:
September is New Generations -- a time to highlight Rotary's commitment to youth October is Vocational Service -- a time to highlight Rotary's contribution to the second Avenue of Service November is Foundation -- a time to highlight our commitment to the important work accomplished by The Rotary Foundation January is Rotary Awareness -- a time to promote the importance of Rotary information to club members and awareness of Rotary in the community February is World Understanding -- a time to highlight Rotary's goal of world understanding and peace April is Magazine -- a time to recognize the contribution made by the THE ROTARIAN and 27 regional Rotary magazines. February 23,
the anniversary of the first Rotary club meeting, is observed as World
Understanding and Peace Day. On that day, clubs are expected to
give special recognition to Rotary's commitment to international understanding,
friendship and peace.
January 27, the date on which Rotary founder Paul P. Harris died in 1947, is used by some Rotary clubs as an occasion to memorialize their own deceased members. March 13 is observed as World Rotaract Day to involve Rotary and Rotaract clubs in common activity of international scope and visibility. |
