Dear Subscriber,

Rotary is a great global connector — more than 1.2 million people of all backgrounds coming together in friendship and service. It’s no surprise then that global connection is a theme running through Rotary magazine’s 2025 Photo Awards. In this issue, we present a collection of 14 images captured by you, our members: wondrous moments of life as it’s lived, fixed in time.

Also this month: It’s been 10 years since Rotary established its annual People of Action Honors to recognize members who create lasting change. To mark the milestone, we’re introducing Decade of Doers, a series celebrating past honorees. In our first installment, read about Stella Dongo, a retired business executive who profits most from empowering others.

On the topic of lasting change, does your club have a great idea for a grant project? The Rotary Foundation Cadre of Technical Advisers can help. In the magazine’s Our World section, we have a rundown on the Cadre, how it works, and why you shouldn’t wait to reach out.
