International President - Jennifer Jones

Imagine Positive Change
Rotary International President Jennifer Jones imagines a Rotary where members act to make their dreams a reality. She’s encouraging all of us to ensure that Rotary is welcoming and inclusive, that our club experience is enjoyable for all members, that girls have the opportunity to develop self-confidence and make their voices heard, and that we continue to expand Rotary’s reach. Learn more about these presidential initiatives.

​ROTARY DISTRICT 7870 
Randell Barclay- ​District Governor ​​
2022 -2023

PicturePoultney Rotary wishes Randell Barclay (Wallingford Rotary), DG as of July 1, 2022, all the best in the coming Rotary Year.
Dianne and I have been busy since the November District Conference. We went to Cape Town, South Africa, for the dedication of our most recent Global Grant of two bronchoscopes (neonatal
& cryogenic) for the Tygerberg Children’s Hospital in Cape Town. These bronchoscopes are already saving the lives of small children daily. PDG Venu Rao and PDG Tony Gilmore were able
to accompany us, and they spent several days hosted by District 9350’s Foundation Chair, Helene
Visser and by the Rotary clubs of Blouberg and Hout Bay visiting service projects in their areas. Thank you to all the District 9350 Rotarians who made this mini friendship exchange a success. The friendship exchange was a true reflection of Rotary’s mission statement: “Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our
communities, and in ourselves.” We are planning a full Friendship Exchange with District 9350 in 2024.
