As we embark on a new year of service, let us take the opportunity to reflect upon the gift of our membership in Rotary
As club and district leaders, you have such an important role to play. You can do so much to help create club experiences that are welcoming, inclusive and enjoyable for each and every member and you can extend that same warmth and belonging to every participant who wishes to engage with our clubs
Over and over our surveys find that member comfort and care is the single greatest driver of member satisfaction and our most powerful tool in driving members retention.
So, we need to put a special emphasis on membership care and belonging. And that work begins with listening. We need to understand why our members took the big leap and joined us and we need to know what they expect from us What do they want out of their Rotary involvement and what we can do to help them get more out of their Rotary experience?
We all feel that impact the Rotary service and Rotary values have on us now it’s our opportunity to share that feeling with others. This is a year to imagine Rotary be envisioning a world that deserves our best, where we get up each day knowing we can make a difference. We don’t imagine yesterday, we imagine tomorrow
We imagine a world without polio, with clean water for everyone We imagine a world free of disease and where every child learns to read. We imagine kindness, hope, love, and peace.
Each of you has assumed important responsibilities as a member of Rotary and I thank you for your hard work. You have made a commitment to help grow Rotary, to adapt to the digital future and to make Rotary more appealing to future generations.
Your good work will help us serve our communities and help Rotary thrive so we can imagine Rotary.
President,
My best wishes and hearty congratulations to all Rotarians, Rotaractors & Interactors for the Rotary Year 2022 2023. We have just now completed Rotary Year 2021 2022. Rotary International, our District 3292 and Rotary Clubs have done our best to the communities by providing humanitarian services, working in partnership with the Government of Nepal and Local Authorities to serve the communities at times of global crisis We believe in Rotary’s Four Way Test, which teaches us that we as Rotarians believe in true and fair actions which will bring goodwill and will be beneficial to all concerned Rotary’s Core Values: Fellowship, Diversity, Leadership, Service and above all Integrity must guide each and every Rotarian
Working for Rotary should be passion and fun, and should not have stress and pressure. Then only we can enjoy Rotary Look around for people to work together and Rotary gives us that opportunity to do service with fellowship Sometimes people may ask which part or segment of Rotary we like Our answer should always be we like Rotary in entirety and not one particular portion 2022 2023 is a special year for Rotary International as we all are going to work under the dynamic leadership of Jennifer Jones, first female President in 117 years of Rotary International history to achieve the targets set for 2022 2023
Friends more than fifty years ago, one popular song was recorded that included this beautiful line: You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one. Friends, we all have dreams, but acting on them is a choice. And it becomes our responsibility to make these dreams a reality. Let us imagine a world that deserves our best, where we get up each day knowing that we can make a difference
With above vision, Rotary International President Jennifer Jones has given the theme “Imagine Rotary” for the year 2022 2023 Our district has our Theme “Together for a better world” By focusing on our strategic plan and expands our reach by engaging the Family of Rotary at every age, gender and culture to create lasting change, we can see Rotary increases our impact. We have to give more emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion to achieve growth in female membership and members under the age of forty however without losing the sight of membership retention We also should work for girl child education leading to women empowerment
All these are achievable with all of us working as a TEAM, team is just not a group of people working together, in reality it is a group of people trusting each other.
Therefore, Friends let us all work together to transform our dreams into reality by serving the communities
First, I would like to congratulate Rtn. Sachin Awale for successfully completing his Presidency for the year 2021 22. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to each and every Rotarian in RC Kathmandu Height for carrying out the critical tasks needed to our club in these challenging times Each of you is an extraordinary example of commitment, professionalism and teamwork
I am honored to be the President of the Rotary Club of Kathmandu Height for the year 2022 23 It is such a dynamic and vibrant club that it gives me great pleasure to serve in this capacity. I as a President would like to work with every individual member in projects, meeting and organize events so that we can better understand each other and make differences
Can you imagine living in a world where everyone measures their actions via the Four Way Test of Rotary? A world where trust, respect for one another, sharing, relationships, fairness, and providing beneficial services, serve as the compass for success Rotarians can imagine such a world We can all be proud of our ability to adapt and unite and continue to live our motto each day: Service Above Self We have continued to deliver support to the most vulnerable in our communities, as well as address the many additional needs that have surfaced due to different situations.
I will follow in the footsteps of CP and IPP of our club who have each been exceptional examples of service and leadership Likewise, I am privileged to have an incredible team of professionals and community leaders currently serving with me on the Board of the Rotary Club of Kathmandu Height, who are each example of living up to the organization’s aspiration to put service above self.
As our RI President Jennifer Jones formulated 22/23 theme “imagine Rotary, yes “It is our offer of hands on service, personal growth, leadership development, and lifelong friendships that creates purpose and passion,” . Imagine a world that deserves our best where we get up each day knowing that we can make a difference
Although we all have dreams, acting on them is a choice we make. When our organization Rotary dreams about big things like ending polio and creating peace, it becomes our responsibility to make them happen “We don’t imagine yesterday, we imagine tomorrow ”
Finally, with a sense of great responsibility and hope, I ask all of you to work with me, starting now and for many years to come, in building on RCKH's excellence, deepening the mutual support of this extraordinary world, and continuing to take that leadership out into the world
