I hope you are all well and looking forward to the festive season.
Just passing on our monthly themes for Rotary Down Under next year (please see attached). We are basing them around Rotary’s People of Action campaign. I have loosely tied them to RI’s monthly themes, but the focus is on the “Together, we Xxxxx” as opposed to the RI theme. Sometimes these line up specifically, other months not so much. So, first up is Together, We Promote Peace. If you are able to give this some thought over the next week and pass on any interesting ideas/thoughts/projects you have, that would be amazing.
Many thanks and happy holidays to you all!!
Warm regards,

February
Together, We Promote Peace
(Peace and Conflict Resolution Month)
Building a peaceful world begins in our own backyards. That’s why Rotary brings communities together
to learn from our differences, gain new perspectives, and form stronger connections. Promoting peace
through understanding – that’s what People of Action do.
March
Together, We Fight Hunger
(Water and Sanitation Month)
Hunger hides in every community. That’s why Rotary clubs support programs to provide
healthy food and develop sustainable solutions to food insecurity. Fighting hunger to build
stronger communities – that’s what People of Action do.
April
Together, We Protect
(Maternal and Child Health Month)
“What is the value of the life of one child saved? No one will ever know, but if the child were our own, the price tag would be marked: Not for sale – this life is invaluable.” – James L Bomar Jr. Protecting the health and lives of mothers and children – that’s what People of Action do.
+ R100 Centenary Celebrations
May
Together, We Mentor
(Youth Service Month)
Sharing knowledge and wisdom drives lasting change. That’s one of many reasons Rotary members
dedicate their time to help others reach their potential. Mentoring and inspiring generations
of leaders – that’s what People of Action do.
June
Together, We Connect
(Rotary Fellowships Month)
Rotary unites problem solvers around the globe behind one goal: to do more good. Our members are driven to bring communities together to create lasting change. Connecting to make things better – that’s what People of Action do.
July
Together, We Empower
(New Leadership Month)
Potential shines brightest when it’s inspired. That’s why Rotary clubs invest time and expertise in
encouraging others to be the best they can be. Empowering those who have big dreams to achieve
great things – that’s what People of Action do.
August
Together, We Inspire
(World Humanitarian Day)
On World Humanitarian Day, we honour the work of humanitarians who overcome huge challenges to save and improve the lives of millions of people. These real-life heroes are doing inspiring things to help women, men and children whose lives are upended by crises. They support individuals and communities in the fight against poverty, injustice and hopelessness, while safeguarding fundamental human rights of populations displaced by war and conflict. Creating inspiring stories and inspiring others to create their own – that’s what People of Action do.
September
Together, We Learn
(Basic Education and Literacy Month)
Education fuels innovation and progress. That’s why Rotary members encourage lifelong learning:
exchanging ideas and inspiring generations of problem solvers. Learning together to explore what’s
possible – that’s what People of Action do.
October
Together, We Transform
(Economic and Community Development Month)
Rotary unites problem solvers around the globe to do more good. Like providing job training and supporting local entrepreneurs to help revitalise the places we call home. Connecting to make communities stronger – that’s what People of Action do.

November
Together, We Do Good In The World
(Rotary Foundation Month)
Rotary believes healthy communities are strong communities. That’s one reason why we’ve worked tirelessly to help immunise 2.5 billion children against polio. Bringing the world closer to eradicating a deadly disease – that’s what People of Action do.
December
Together, We Save Lives
(Disease Prevention and Treatment Month)
Thriving communities start with healthy people. That’s why Rotary clubs organise health
screenings, host blood drives, and connect neighbours to medical resources. Working together
to save lives – that’s what People of Action do.
