We are People of Action

Message from DG Lucy Thornton

I am both honoured and incredibly proud to serve as your District Governor. Thank you for the trust you have placed in me. I know the commitment, time and energy that every one of you gives to Rotary and I want you to know that your dedication is truly valued.

Our greatest impact comes when we work alongside our community partners and continue to be recognised as People of Action. By being visible in our communities, sharing our stories and inviting others to join us, we can inspire more people to experience the fellowship and purpose that Rotary offers.

Membership remains one of the key priorities across Rotary Great Britain and Ireland. Our Public Image Team and District Membership Lead want to support Clubs take ownership of membership growth, and by working collaboratively learn from each other. Every club has strengths, ideas and successes, Together, we are stronger.

Thank you for everything you do for Rotary and for your communities. I wish every club a successful, rewarding and enjoyable Rotary year.

Together, we can achieve great things.

If you are interested in joining Rotary please contact one of the clubs near you, see under “Clubs” on the top menu or email Jonquil on membership@district1100.org

Good luck and I look forward to working with you all.

Lucy

Reorganised website 

Following the survey of members earlier this year the District website is in the process of being reorganised so that most information will be available without the need to log into the members area. In the members area will be a District Directory with contact details, we have little to hide, so let’s share what we do!

What you see will depend on the device you are using:

On a phone

The easiest way to find things may be from the “burger” on top right which opens a Menu including “what we do” a click on this opens a series of, hopefully , self-explanatory headings with more information available on each item. Scrolling down below the introductory pictures are “featured” pages, Club events, followed by a current messages area, where you are reading this. Below are links to key activities including District Saocial Media

On a computer monitor 

There are a series of menu options including “what we do” as above, as you scroll down from the introductory pictures the screen is then in three areas 

On the left-hand side will be various “featured” pages, these will change regularly, and beneath this a listing of Clubs events. On the right links to key areas of activity and District social media and in the centre where you are reading this “current information” 

If interested in Joining Rotary 

This site is primarily aimed at existing Rotarians. If you are not currently a member Rotary continues to evolve.

Gone are the days when Rotary was often a male only dining club. 

Modern clubs are open to all who share our vision.

Weekly meetings are optional, as is the location.

They are family friendly and focus on helping your community, as well as further afield.

If you like what you see then contact your local club (hyperlink to list of clubs) or message Jonquil at membership@Rotary1100.org to find out how you can be part of our amazing organisation and help build our future
