Most of us are familiar with the reference to the “Twelve Days of Christmas” but did you know about the “Eleven Months of Rotary?” Rotary has identified a theme for each month except July. July is the first month of the Rotary year and is when the annual theme kicks in. This year’s annual theme is “Rotary Connects the World.”
The monthly themes are meant to highlight the wide range of Rotary’s good work and give clubs some suggestions, timing, and guidance for their programs and activities.
Here’s the list:
January – Vocational Service
February – Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention
March – Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
April – Maternal and Child Health
May – Youth Service
June – Rotary Fellowships
July – (no specific monthly theme since the annual theme starts with the new Rotary Year)
August – Membership and New Club Development
September – Basic Education and Literacy
October – Community Economic Development
November – Rotary Foundation
December – Disease Prevention and Treatment
