Begin planning for Rotary Centennial now

Rotary clubs worldwide are encouraged to start developing plans for celebrating Rotary's Centennial during the 2004-05 Rotary year. All clubs are invited to participate in Rotary Club Centennial Community Projects, a widespread community-service effort designed to showcase thousands of Rotary club contributions to local communities.

To participate, clubs should register their centennial community projects with RI by 1 January 2003.

Projects must:

-meet a clearly identifiable community need,

-provide a solution with measurable results,

-involve Rotarians personally, and

-place a permanent marker at the project site identifying the sponsoring club and the Rotary Centennial.

All projects must be completed by February 2005. Clubs can register their projects online at www.rotary.org or by mail or fax, using the registration form included in the centennial promotion kit being sent to all clubs in September 2002.

The kit will provide information on the centennial projects as well as tools to assist clubs in promoting the centennial at the local level. These include a list of ideas for celebrating and publicizing the Rotary Centennial in the community, historical information and photos, the official Rotary Centennial logo, and a set of 10 postcards featuring a sampling of Rotary stamps from around the world and recent photos of Rotary in action. These materials will be available in print and on CD-ROM, allowing clubs to use the format that is more convenient for them.

For more information about Rotary Centennial plans, visit the new Centennial section of the RI Web site. This section will be expanded and updated regularly throughout the coming months.
