One of our goals this year, which I think we reached in an amazing way, was making Rotary’s public image a priority. We, in so many ways, put the Wellington Rotary name out there: from our ads to news information stories, Facebook, our web site, bottle return depot, Family Day free soup/chili, electronic recycling, maple syrup, dinner dance, golf tournament to the Diners and Duffers books. So many of our members supply goods and services that ensure our successes and that our Rotary brand remains visible, strong, entertaining, and above all “Service Above Self”… the Magic of Rotary.
All of the above has proven that our club is a strong Community Rotary Leader. We understand who we are and how we make a difference as people of action. This only makes us stronger and more committed. This also helps us in attracting members, volunteers, and donors.
