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.
Dear Rotary family,

I’ve always been inspired by something my brother David once told me: “In order to live in the kind of society you want, you have to help build it.”

As people of action, Rotary members have a long history of creating positive change within our communities and ourselves. And now, as we begin the 2022-23 Rotary year, I’m excited to continue the work of growing Rotary into the organization we want it to be and know it can be.

​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.
We are six weeks into this new Rotary year. Dianne and I have completed
approximately half of our club visits by August 15, 2022. We have been
having great fun crisscrossing the District, meeting fellow Rotarians, and
learning about the amazing projects and fundraisers that are taking place in
our District. We are hoping that some of those clubs will share their
experience and plans at our upcoming District Conference on Sunday,
November 6, 2022, in Killington Vermont (see related article in this
newsletter). When we near the completion of our official visits, Dianne
and I would like to visit clubs to participate in service projects and fundraisers. Keep us informed of
your club’s plans so we can add them to our schedule, as best we can. While each Rotary Club is different, we can feel at home on each visit as we recite the 4-Way Test of the Things We Think, Say or Do, we sing, and we enjoy fellowship. We know that we are meeting
with Rotarians and that we have a common purpose of service to our local communities and to communities around the world.

(See the District Newsletter for the entire DG message.)
