Welcome to Rotary District 1110
Rotary Wessex
I am excited to be serving our District as District Governor for the Rotary year of 2026-2027.
This year, Rotary's global message is to ‘CREATE LASTING IMPACT’ in our projects, activities and day-to-day Rotary service.
Rotary is an amazing organisation, which makes a difference to so many peoples lives, whether in education, health, water and sanitation, peace or environmental initiatives, not to mention always working to help our local communities at the same time. But we need to focus on the long term impacts of our service, not simply the short term outcomes.
My message for this year, to accompany the global message, is 'SERVICE WITH A SMILE' as we need to be able to show those yet to experience it how much we enjoy our Rotary service so that they are encouraged to consider joining us.
For anyone not already a Rotarian who is reading this page, you can contact me directly to learn more about the wonderful opportunities that can open up when you join Rotary.
