At Toronto’s Learning to Lead, Rotary Zones 28 and 32 contested a "Zorb faceoff."
On Friday evening in Toronto there was a series of “battles” to see who can stay in the ring while bouncing off each other in Zorbs (an inflatable bubble that you wear).
The intrepid Johnny Ahern represented our District 7910 in this amazing (and amusing) competition. He got bounced, literally and figuratively. See the video.
Our District 7910 pledged $1000 of the $50,000 goal to support the Foundation for this event and has generated $1,010 in contributions. Total contributions are now above $100,000. Thank you!
Rotary's rules for the use of its logo have changed. If you were an expert in logo use even two years ago, you probably need a refresher! In fact the rules changed in 2013, but many of us are still catching up.
Every large corporation evolves its logo usage over time to keep its look fresh and modern. It is important that we all adhere to the international brand guidelines to keep the look of our club fresh and consistent with all the other clubs throughout the world.
RLI has a broad array of topics that gets introduced to those attending. RLI has three progressive levels (RLI1, RLI2, and RLI3) plus graduate courses. Each of the levels has it own content, however, the curriculum gets more strategic with each level. The course content is broken into seven units.
On Sept. 11th, 2023, Leominster experienced historic and damaging floods when almost 10 inches of rain fell in the city within a few hours. Flash flooding caused massive sinkholes, washed out numerous roads, and left many residents and businesses with several feet of water causing massive damage. The Fix, where the Rotary Club of Leominster meets, was under 7 feet of water! Even with the loss of property, vehicles and more, the city is extremely fortunate that there were no reported major injuries or casualties.

What a fantastic night was had while Rotarians, friends, and family watched the Boston Red Sox take on the Chicago White Sox on Sep. 22nd for Rotary Night at Fenway Park! Over 50 people across three districts joined together and cheered on the Red Sox for their 3-2 victory. Not only were tickets very affordable, but the Boston Red Sox were able to make a $255 donation to our district which we will pass along to The Rotary Foundation as part of our ticket sales. We are looking forward to doing this for years to come and expanding our group each year. Thank you to everyone that attended!

Visit the District 7910 Learning Page to learn how to access and use this module to the advantage of your club. Record your goals and aspirations, and the look back at the end of the year and pat yourselves on the back!
Wishes are not goals -- when we write them down, we are partway to seeing them become real. When we make them Actionable and Measurable, we inspire ourselves to make them happen. Set realistic goals -- if only to do as well as last year -- and then work together to make them happen!
We concentrate our efforts in order to maximize our local and global impact. Our most successful and sustainable projects and activities tend to address these causes, and all humanitarian projects, scholars, and vocational training teams funded by The Rotary Foundation’s global grants work toward specific goals in these areas of focus:

In support of Rotary International President Gordan R. McInally’s commitment to mental health, the Westborough Rotary Club has invited accomplished speakers to discuss this critical issue.
At the club’s September 13 meeting, Lynn Faust, Executive Director of Metro Community Development Corporation, a regional non-profit corporation that promotes self-sufficiency in the MetroWest and greater Boston, specifically addressed hoarding disorder.
Hoarding disorder, often called a “Disorder of Control, " is not new. However, as the public is destigmatizing mental illness, hoarding is beginning to come out in the open. Here’s the reality: Five percent of people are hoarders, which means 1 in 5 individuals suffer from this disorder. This disorder not only causes immense anxiety for the hoarder but also for their families.
Use "Rotary Club of Evanston Picnic at the Beach" rather than "Rotary Picnic at the Beach"
Rotary logo do’s and don’ts. General guidance: Use your custom Club logo, which has been made for you or can be made using the logo generator on Club Central.
