To Governor Maksud Chowdhury and the Rotarians of District 7230:
This Rotary year, let's ensure that we work to
“Create Lasting Impact”
The world needs Rotary now more than ever.
Through our community-based structure, Rotarians are able to pinpoint local and international needs and support them in ways that are non-political, non-sectarian and always, in the best interests of all concerned.
Through our Rotary Foundation, we are making sustainable change and providing clean water, educational opportunities, economic development, environmental sustainability, and ultimately, growing peace in areas where it is needed most.
And through our fight to eliminate polio, we are not only on the verge of wiping out that disease, in the process we are also creating the infrastructure to fight other threats to public health.
The world needs Rotary. Today, with the calendar beckoning to a new Rotary year, let's take the time to make concrete plans for the work we plan to accomplish in the coming year.
Congratulations! And thank you for all the work you will accomplish in the coming year.
Marty Peak Helman
Rotary International Director 2026-28
