Rotary District 6900

"If Rotary is to realize its proper destiny, it must be evolutionary at all times, revolutionary on occasion."

Paul Harris wrote that. Zones 33 and 34 have decided this is the occasion.

Rotary Revolution is our Zone Summit, and it lands in Williamsburg, Virginia, October 21–25 — on the ground where a revolution actually started. Its tagline is the whole idea in five words: a revolution led by serving hands. Not noise, not division, but the kind of change that comes from people who show up and do the work.

The new Declaration of Service film is the opening argument for all of it — and Rotarians from clubs across District 6900 are in it. Watch for a face you know.

"We will unite. We will change. We will commit. We will lead. And we will serve."

Three zone webinars in October, open to Rotarians across Zones 33/34 — District 6900 included.

Thursday, October 15, 6:00 PM ET — Rotary Foundation Matters, the monthly session on Foundation tools and resources

Five weeks left to nominate a District Governor.

Nominations for the 2029–30 District Governor of District 6900 close October 31. Clubs submit on their candidate's behalf, which means the conversation starts at your club, not with the district.

What the role asks for: a member in good standing who has served a full term as club president, and who will have been a Rotarian for at least seven years by 2029.

What it asks of you is smaller. If someone came to mind while you were reading this, tell them — and tell your club president, who has the packet.

A note for club public image chairs across District 6900: three EPIC Award tasks are due on the same day.

The EPIC Award — Excellence in Public Image Coordination — asks clubs for one task a month and recognizes them at year end. July's task was an audit of the club's online presence. August's was a public image plan. September's is a content calendar.

All three are due October 31.

That is a month away, and a club that has not started has three pieces of work to produce at once. Worth knowing: three completed tasks earns Bronze recognition, so a club that clears this deadline has already earned one.

Tomorrow night, an hour on taking better Rotary photos with the phone already in your pocket.

"Taking Great Rotary Photos" is the Zones 33/34 public image session for September — Wednesday, September 23, at 6:00 PM ET. It covers composition, lighting, simple camera settings, editing, and a repeatable shot list you can hand to whoever is holding the camera at your next project.

The premise: good Rotary photography is not about expensive equipment. It is about seeing the moment and moving closer.

Every club in this district can use this one. Bring your public image chair.

People assume you have to be invited to Rotary.

You don't! You can just visit.

A Rotary club meets weekly — most over lunch, some at breakfast, a few in the evening for people who cannot do either. There is a meal, a speaker, for about an hour, and then everyone goes back to work.

Visitors are welcome at essentially every club in this district, and you are not committing to anything by turning up. Most members will tell you they went once as somebody's guest and kept going back.

Today, Rotary District 6900 pauses to remember September 11, 2001, and the lives that day forever changed.

We honor the first responders who ran toward danger.
We remember those who lost their lives.
We stand with those who survived and carry their memories.
And we hold close to our hearts the families, friends, caregivers, and communities who loved them and walked with them through unimaginable loss.

25 years later, may we never forget the courage, compassion, service, and unity that emerged in the face of tragedy.

As Rotarians, we remain committed to Service Above Self and to doing our part to create a more peaceful and compassionate world.

Blessings to all, and may peace prevail around our world.

They are leading clubs, creating new ideas, mentoring the next generation, serving boldly, showing up, and taking action.

And we want to celebrate them.

The Rotary Zones 33/34 Public Image Team is creating a special Rotary Revolution video, for zone summit in Williamsburg, Va and we want YOUR photos of the incredible women who make Rotary stronger.
