In celebration of “National March into Literacy Month” and the Rotary “Basic Education and Literacy” focus, we will be collecting children’s books to distribute to our local YWCA, Community CARES, Project Share, and Sadler Health organizations. (See the details in the section below).
March is also the month for our District Learning Assembly. This event will equip you with valuable insights and practical knowledge on crucial topics such as: Clubrunner, Membership Engagement, Rotary's Positive Peace Program and MORE!
By attending, you'll walk away with a comprehensive understanding of these areas and be better prepared to help your club achieve its goals and create a positive impact. Whether you're a seasoned Rotarian or new to the role, this assembly will be an inspiring and enriching experience for everyone involved.
Join us Saturday, March 15, 2025 at Messiah University (One University Avenue, Mechanicsburg, PA) in Boyer Hall.
Cost: $25 per Rotarian
Registration Deadline: March 8, 2025
