December is Rotary’s Family Month

In his December message, Rotary International President John Kenny addressed Family Month, Rotary’s month-long celebration of the family of Rotary.  December is a time for Rotarians to concentrate on the balance between family and Rotary activities.  ”Every club should strive to achieve a balanced interaction between Rotarians and their families — and the family of Rotary. Only by working together, as a family, can we ensure that the Rotary of today grows into an even stronger Rotary of tomorrow,” says Kenny.

You and your family can support the family of Rotary by participating in a number of events happening throughout District 5110.

You can always find fun events happening throughout the district by looking at the District’s event page.  Here are two upcoming events sponsored by local Rotary clubs and District 5110.
