New Year Resolutions for 2025

New Year Resolutions for 2025*

New beginnings, fresh starts, reaffirmation of love and promises for a brighter future all come to mind as we ring in a New Year. There are the superficial, yet purposeful promises we make to ourselves. We resolve to get in shape, lose weight, improve career paths and the like. Then there are the heartfelt promises we make to others, whether aloud or in our minds. The New Year is a time to reflect on the changes we want or need to make.

It’s not just about achieving personal goals; it’s about creating a tidal wave of positivity that transforms lives and communities. So, gear up, and let’s make 2025 a year like never before!

New Year Resolutions for Rotary in 2025:

  1. Resolve to actively engage with fellow Rotarians: Attend more club meetings, events and foster stronger connections within the Rotary community. Sign up for a shift for the Meeting Support Team. It’s easy, fun and rewarding.
  2. Visit a Rotary Club and do a make-up: Can’t attend a Wednesday meeting why not visit another Rotary Club. Check out other Rotary Clubs. Here is a link to My Rotary with a list of local clubs.
  3. Membership Growth – Invite a new member: Pledge to actively recruit new members and work towards increasing diversity and inclusivity within the Rotary club. Bring a guest to Rotary and invite them to be a member. Who do you think would make a great Rotarian? Often, we just don’t ask a friend to become a Rotarian….so just ask! Here is a link to the Nomination Form.
  4. Celebrate Rotary: Get social, share some of our Facebook posts and Tweets. Share some of the great projects, posts, picture and events of our Rotary Club on any of your social media platforms. Talk about the great work our Rotary Club does. Be our biggest cheerleader!
  5. Promote Rotary Values: Commit to being an ambassador for Rotary values, promoting ethical behavior, goodwill, and peace in both personal and professional spheres. Wear your Rotary pin – Be proud. It is also a great tool to start a conversation about the good work that Rotary does and membership

This year let’s not just make resolutions; let’s unleash a tsunami of positive Rotarian vibes that will ripple through our communities, leaving a trail of inspiration and change. Know that by working together we make a huge impact. Be proud to be a member of the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor with over a “Century of Service!”
