Rotary International's New Generations e-newsletter

Hi everyone

Rotary International have recently started producing a New Generations e-newsletter each month.

New Generations is monthly e-newsletter designed to inform program participants and Rotarians about news and developments in Interact, Rotaract, and RYLA and to give you ideas on how to get more involved with these programs in your communities.

The RI Rotaract Committee would like to encourage as many of you as possible to subscribe to this e-newsletter to hear about the success stories from around the World.

To be added to the distribution list for the New Generations e-newsletter, please click on the link below:

Please note for the purposes of maintaining RI’s contacts' information, they are maintaining three separate contact lists for this newsletter (Interact, Rotaract, and RYLA) but all will receive the same publication.

We hope you enjoy the e-newsletter

Greetings from the RI Rotaract Committee

Greetings from the Rotary International Rotaract Committee.

Your committee has just completed a three day meeting qt Rotary International Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, USA. One of the major topics covered in our two day meeting was the Preconvention meeting in Birmingham, England, June 19-20, 2009. We are planning an exciting and informative meeting for those who attend. There will be many opportunities for fellowship with Rotaractors from around the world. While attending the meeting you will be able to share your projects and practices with others and pick up new ideas. Join us in Birmingham if you can and help us Make Dreams Real around the world – visit www.rotaract.org or www.brum09.com for more information.

We also met with committee members for RYLA, Youth Exchange, and Interact. We discussed how we might work together to strengthen each others programs and how we might find more ways to cooperate with each other.

We will be working this year to serve you, to improve communications, and to provide feedback to the Rotary International Board. Watch for additional messages from the Rotaract Committee and share these communications with Rotaractors in your Districts and Clubs.

Linked in Rotaract and Rotary,
