President Thaya's Message

25 May 2022

 

 

 

My fellow Rotarians and friends of Rotary,

ROTARY, a catalyst between the haves and the have nots

Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta's 2021-22 presidential theme is "Serve to Change Lives.", saying that caring for and serving others is the best way to live because it changes not only other people's lives, but also our own.

 

What is Rotary:

 

WE TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES

Approximately 47 million volunteer hours each year

 

WE CONNECT PEOPLE

1.4 million members worldwide

 

WE FUND SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS 

$333 million was awarded for global service initiatives in 2020-21.

 

What we do:

Rotarians create lasting change. Solving some of the world's most complex and pressing problems takes real commitment and vision. Rotary members believe that we share a responsibility to take action to improve our communities. Join us, to make a bigger impact - together.

No challenge is too big for us. For more than a century, we've bridged cultures and connected continents. We champion peace, fight illiteracy and poverty. We help people get access to clean water and sanitation, and fight disease. Our latest cause is to protect our planet and its resources.

We have also developed our own focus areas to undertake humanitarian services more strategically and systematically. Our main focus areas are:

  • Promoting Peace

  • Saving Mothers & Children

  • Fighting Disease

  • Supporting Education

  • Supporting the Environment

Rotary is dedicated to causes that build international relationships, improve lives and create a better world. We believe that exemplifying and embracing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) should be a part of everything we do at Rotary. 

We, at the Rotary Club of Strathfield, thrive on many projects and programs to serve our communities locally as well as internationally. Today, through events like the Rotary Charity Ball, we are bringing together the 'haves and have-nots', collaborating for a synergy to serve better without reinventing the wheel.

As the President of the Rotary Club of Strathfield I would like to thank you all for being a part of that platform to "Serve to Change Lives".

'Learn, earn, return-these are the three phases of life.' 

-  Jack Balousek, former president of True North Communications

Rotary Service to You
