District News
 
After 3 years of shutdowns, pandemic worries and border closures, we are BACK BABY! Join us for the first in-person District Conference since 2019 for a 3 day weekend of old fashioned Rotary fellowship, learning and just plain fun. Join Governor Mike and Rotary friends who you haven't seen except on Zoom for several years, lets parr-tee!
 
 
 
In recent years Rotary has created a set of membership categories aimed at helping our clubs grow and, at the same time, meet the needs of the individual Rotarians we wish to attract.
 
The Corporate Membership is one such category. This article will help explain what a corporate membership is and how it can be implemented by your club.
 
On May 11th we welcomed our fellow Rotarians and partners from Lithuania, for an 11 day stay in the district and a packed agenda at visiting some of our clubs and towns in Ontario and Michigan.
 
Our district proudly joins The Rotary Foundation and fellow districts across the world to announce the new Polio Plus Society and invite all of our members to join.  This simple act of generosity by our fellow Rotarians around the world will bring the life saving polio immunization to countless children until the day that the world has been rid of the virus. We are truly This Close and we need your help to complete the job.
 
Do you have a club logo? Do you even need a club logo? Simply put, a logo is an image that your club can use on everything from newsletters to raffle tickets, to letterheads, to web pages and to any other communication where you wish to give your club a professional view of who you are.
 
Free club logos can be custom made online by logging in to rotary.org and going to the Brand Center. To read more about the Rotary logo see this message from RI President Jennifer Jones...
