... . . . ' SERVE TO CHANGE LIVES ' ' . . . …. - 4
Dear Rotarian colleagues, My sons and daughters, Members of Rotaract and Interact, I greet you on the beginning of the new Rotary year 2021-2022, wishing you a happy year full of more successes and achievements. I would also like to extend my sincere appreciation to my brother and dear colleague Osama Al-Ahmar, Immediate Past District Governor, for his leadership of Rotary District 2451 over the past year and his success in achieving many commendable Rotary achievements by following up on and supporting Rotary club project.. I would also like to thank all past District Governors for their constructive efforts in serving Rotary and upholding Rotary values. In continuation of Rotary's journey in the service of the community, and emphasizing its lofty mission to improve the individual's standard of living and promote our community, this year's Rotary motto is 'SERVE TO CHANGE LIVES' service to change one's life for the better. In this context, my vision for the new Rotary Year is based on encouraging and supporting outstanding community service projects implemented by Rotary clubs in accordance with the ethical rules and standards and ideals, and also based on hard work to serve our society by increasing our outreach that will bring about a significant change in people's lives and participate in advancing the development of our beloved Egypt, so that the Rotary takes its worthy position among Non-governmental organizations in Egypt. At the beginning of the Rotary New Year, my Rotary colleagues hope to work in a team spirit and to adhere to follow the ethical standards, Rotary principles and behaviors in the concept of quadrant testing, which aims to establish strong relationships between us all on the basis of the high Rotary values that we all believe in: fellowship - integrity, high morals - diversity - leadership skill - service. Rotary codes of conduct are also set to be an example within society. I assure you that I stand at the same distance from all my Rotary colleagues and support you all, wishing you health, success, and great achievements in your family, professional life and Rotary endeavors.

Shekhar Mehta I wish each of you and your families a great Rotary New Year! President Together, let us make it the best year of our lives, by making it a year 2021-22 to grow more and do more. Let this be a year of changemakers, and July 2021 let us begin with our membership. That is precisely why the Each One, Bring One initiative is so important. During this year, I urge you to dream of new ways in which Rotary can expand its reach into your community and therefore the world. If each member introduces one person to Rotary, our membership can increase to 1.3 million by July 2022. So, let's just do it! Imagine the change we, as Rotary members, can make when there are so many more of us! More people to care for others, more people to Serve to Change Lives. Think of the impact we can have through grow more, do more. More members will enable us to embark on bigger and bolder service projects. And each of us can also continue to serve in our own personal ways, responding to needs in our communities. The beauty of Rotary is that service means different things to different people around the world. One element, however, that we can incorporate into all of our service initiatives is empowering girls. Unfortunately, even in this day and age, girls and young women face disproportionate challenges all over the world. We have the power to lead the charge for gender equality. Empowering girls and young women to have greater access to education, better health care, more employment, and equality in all walks of life should be embedded in every Rotary project we launch. Girls are future leaders, so we must ensure that we help them shape their future. The biggest gift we are given Is the power to touch a life, To change, to make a difference In the circle of life. If we can reach out With our hand, heart, and soul, The magic will start to happen As the wheel begins to roll. Let's turn the wheel together So all humanity thrives, We have the power and the magic To Serve to Change Lives. These are challenging times, and I compliment each of your efforts in grappling with COVID-19. No challenge is too big for Rotarians. The bigger the challenge, the more passionate the Rotarian. Look at what we can do when we take on a colossal challenge such as eradicating polio. Look at the millions of lives we improve by strengthening access to water, sanitation, and hygiene. Look at what we do every year to promote peace in places where it seems unimaginable. Our basic education and literacy programs have nation-building impact. This year, let us challenge ourselves to do more such projects and programs that have national reach and impact. This year, let us Serve to Change Lives. 7
The Foundation world fund 8
John F. Germ Trustee Chair July 2021 July is the most exciting month in Rotary, a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. For many, it's an opportunity to take on new leadership roles. Rotarians brim with optimism, thinking about the good we can do for humanity in the 12 months ahead. As I write this message, I recall a quote often attributed to Helen Keller, a renowned American activist for people with disabilities: “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” How profound that a woman who was blind taught us such a powerful lesson about the difference between sight and vision. Indeed, it is one thing to see the world as it is, but entirely another to envision it as it could be. The Rotary Foundation is all about envisioning possibilities — and making them happen. As we begin this Rotary year, I ask: what is your vision for the next 12 months? Could a community or region you know benefit from a grant from the Foundation? One probably could, and, as you read these words, many people in that community are waiting for our help and leadership. We are still reeling from the challenges of serving the world during COVID-19, but we cannot let that or anything else stop us. Many educational and health care needs have only been exacerbated by the pandemic. The world needs us. Beginning 1 July, you can apply for Foundation grants supporting Rotary's new area of focus: the environment. July also brings changes, such as the financial restructuring of the World Fund, that have been implemented with an eye toward sustainability. We are just beginning a year when we will continue our first Programs of Scale grant in Zambia, seek a home for our next Rotary Peace Center, and plan and implement district and global grants that will make positive impacts for generations to come. To paraphrase the ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi, today we begin the journey of a thousand miles by taking our first step. Let's walk together, looking forward, not to the past. Rotarians love a good challenge, so here's one for us all: let's challenge ourselves to think bigger this year and enlarge our vision of what we can and will do. Make the Foundation a part of your vision for a better world, and you will see the world, and yourself, change. 9

ROTARY’S CORE VALUES The world today is not the same as it was when Rotary was founded in 1905.
