How will you connect the world?
Our Rotary service connects us to people who share our values and want to take action for a better world. It connects us to people we might never otherwise meet, people who are more like us than we imagined. And it connects us to people who need our help, allowing us to change lives in communities around the world.

Rotary is implementing a new strategic plan, but the real work of shaping Rotary’s future lies with you as we adapt and grow for the future. RI President Mark Daniel Maloney challenges you to strengthen the many ways that Rotary Connects the World by building the connections that allow talented, thoughtful, and generous people to unite and take meaningful action through service.

The 2019-20 Rotary Citation will recognize the accomplishments of clubs that support the priorities of our strategic plan and make a positive difference in their communities. Encourage your clubs to work toward the citation’s goals.

September is... 

Poultney Rotary sponsors an Interact Club at Poultney High which is getting geared up as the new school year starts. 

Students in the District in need of school supplies are now getting some of those items in backpacks. This effort is a continuation of a previous effort between the Club, Interact advisors and Interact members.
This and other service projects helps to reinforce the importance of community.

Rotary Foundation Update

The Rotary Foundation has changed the names of three areas of focus (marked with asterisks) to better reflect the types of projects that Rotary members carry out. The six areas of focus are:
  • Peacebuilding and conflict prevention*
  • Disease prevention and treatment
  • Water, sanitation, and hygiene*
  • Maternal and child health
  • Basic education and literacy
  • Community economic development*
Some of the areas of focus goals have also changed. You’ll find new activities related to the environment in the updated Areas of Focus Policy Statements.
