Happy February!

February also begins what we call “MidYear Visits”. This is one of our District’s traditions, where the District Governor (that’s me) and the District Governor Elect (Anita Daniels), along with the Assistant Governor, meet with the Club Presidents and Presidents Elect of each Area. Since we have 13 Areas, we will hold 13 MidYear Visits between now and hopefully the end of May. These will be Zoom. This tradition is one of the things that promotes continuity of leadership from year to year in our clubs and at the District level. Often, the MidYear Visits coincide with Area Foundation Dinners. It will be up the Assistant Governors and Clubs how to handle that this year. If we have to be virtual, let’s do that! Our donors to the Rotary Foundation still deserve acknowledgement and appreciation and we all should be aware of the good works done by our Rotary Foundation here and around the world.
- Identify your passions―and share them with others
- Create a culture of love at work―and spark innovation, productivity, and joy
- Serve your customers, so they love how you treat them―and have them coming back for more
- Invest time in making personal connections―that are mutually rewarding
- Focus on serving the needs of others―they’re going to love it
- Do what you love―and make it your business, so others love it, too

Welcome one and all! Calling anyone and everyone who is interested in leadership in general or thinking about personal leadership development.


The Rotary International Convention, scheduled for 12-16 June 2021, in Taipei, Taiwan, will now be a virtual event in response to the ongoing threat of COVID-19.
We are sorry that we will not see you in Taipei this year, but this decision, made by the Rotary Board of Directors, is necessary to protect the health of everyone involved. We will share more details about the 2021 Rotary International Virtual Convention soon. Here’s what you need to know now:
Convention, pre-convention, and ticket refunds
RI will automatically cancel and refund all existing registrations. This includes purchases made for Rotaract, Youth Exchange, and Intercountry Committees preconvention events, and ticketed meal events.
We kindly ask that you NOT contact RI Registration to inquire about registration, ticket, or housing cancellations as they work diligently to inform all attendees and process cancellations and refunds. Those who had already canceled prior to today will receive a refund of the $50 processing fee.
Host Organization Committee (HOC) ticketed event registrations
The HOC event ticket fees will be refunded by the Taipei HOC. For more information, please visit rotarytaipei2021.org.
Hotel rooms
No action is required from those attendees who made accommodations secured within Rotary’s official housing block. Maritz, formerly Experient and Rotary’s official housing partner, will contact those who currently have rooms secured with the cancellation details. Others who have secured group room blocks and made a full or partial payment will receive a follow-up communication and instructions on receiving a refund.
We will post more details as they become available.

Congratulations Stacy!
Rotary Zone 26/27 has compiled a listing of possible sources to aid with on-line fundraising for clubs.
NOTE: These are examples of online platforms clubs can use for various types of events. There are many platforms available, so it is important to do your own research to determine which platform is best for your event. This list is not meant to be comprehensive and is NOT an endorsement for any platform or product. Rather, these are examples of what platforms are available. Some charge for their services and some are free. For the paid services, such as the online event and auction platforms, make sure you examine and compare all services and costs, including subscription costs, user fees, transaction fees, credit card fees, and availability of support. It is up to you to determine whether these events are legal in your area. Submit platforms you have found useful to virtualfundraising@zone2627.org.
