Our centenary is also the time to lay the foundations for our future, as we still have much to do.  The key project in our centenary year will focus on stopping the one in 16 children who die in 9 Pacific nations before the age of five. 

We invite you to join Rotarians across Australia on 10th July for virtual fellowship, as well as meet our R100 Centenary Ambassadors, the Governor General and Mrs Hurley, as they launch our national centenary campaign.  By joining us, you will witness the “Passing the Baton” ceremony.  The baton that will carry the symbols of our centenary and will travel far and wide across Rotary clubs and Districts.  

Please pass this invitation on to as many Rotary clubs as possible so that they too can join this event.  We ask too for your support in helping us raise funds for our R100 Centenary project, "Rotary Give Every Child a Future"; saving young lives in Pacific nations. 

Please expect registration details on how you can join within the next week.

We look forward to you joining in and making your mark on history!

Kind regards,

Garry Browne

RESPONDING TO NATIONAL CENTENARY MEDIA REQUESTS

Dear District Governors and Club Presidents,
Cc District Governor-Elects and Club President-Elects
                                                                                   
On behalf of Rotary International, I am writing to update you on how to respond to media enquiries  during the Centenary year. 

Rotary’s Centenary is a time of celebration.  It is a time to reflect on our past, and take pride in all that has been achieved. This means local and national media may be interested in learning about what Rotary has planned for the year ahead.

Please direct any media enquiries from national outlets on the Centenary, and those from local outlets covering topics of national scope to Angela Stavrogiannopoulos, Rotary International’s Communications and Public Relations Senior Coordinator by email or phone (angela.stavro@rotary.org / 0402 934 129).

Please continue to work with your local media in letting them know about local projects and initiatives. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

Grace Ramirez
Manager, International Office and Financial Services
