Rotary District News
 
From District Governor Jane Hopkins:
 
I am excited to share with you the initiatives put forward by
Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta and those
we will be working on here in The Birthplace District. I know
that through the projects and passion each of you bring to
our district, we will live up to this year’s theme of
“Serve To Change Lives”.
 
 
President Shekhar has done incredible work and service in his
home country of India, and has seen firsthand the impact
educating and empowering girls can have on families,
communities, and generations. This is his first challenge to
members of Rotary around the world. He has stated many
times, “When you educate a boy, you educate a man. When
you educate a girl, you educate the family.” Secondly, he has
instituted Rotary Days of Service, allowing clubs to organize
events locally and internationally to do good in the world. I am
excited that immediate past president of the Rotary Club of
Joliet, Michelle Balog, will be serving as the new RI President
Initiatives Chair for the district. Michelle will bring wonderful
passion and ideas to these new areas.

Other district initiatives I am excited to share with you:
  • District Literacy Committee
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee
  • New Area of Focus - Environment
  • Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART)
  • Mental Health Task Force
We will continue to support in the vital areas of the
Rotary International Foundation, PolioPlus,
Membership, and Public Image.
I encourage you to reach out if you have ideas, questions,
or want to get involved!  Also, please check our district
website regularly for calendar updates regarding upcoming
district and club events.

I look forward to seeing many of you soon as I travel
through the district meeting clubs and learning about
how you are Serving to Change Lives.

Yours in Service,

Jane Hopkins
District Governor 2021-2022
Rotary District 6450, The Birthplace of Rotary
