JUNE IS ROTARY FELLOWSHIP MONTH Source: https://www.rotaryeclub7090.org/stories/june-is-rotary-fellowship-month June is designated Rotary Fellowships Month to recognize the importance of international fellowship and goodwill among Rotarians with similar recreational and vocational interests, promote increased participation in fellowships, and increase understanding of this program. The RI Board encourages these groups to celebrate Rotary Fellowships Month through projects, activities, and events. (RCP42.010.9.). MOP 2013. What are the benefits for Rotarians in joining the Rotary Fellowships? Fellowship provides opportunities for Rotarians to make lasting friendships outside their own Club, District or country. Fellowships contribute to the advancement of world understanding and peace. Also, Fellowships serve as an incentive for attracting new members to Rotary and retaining our existing members. Indeed, Rotary Fellowship, together with the Rotarian Action Groups, serve as an effective tool in promoting membership development and should be actively promoted in our Districts. There are many Fellowships that would be of interest to our members, and they are detailed on http://www.rotary.org/fellowships. You may find many extensive activities of the Rotary Fellowships that your profession, business or industry area has already established. If not, why not think about starting one yourself! Fellowships contribute to the advancement of world understanding and peace. Interested Rotarians can join a Rotary Fellowship by viewing the Rotary Fellowships Handbook (729) or even start a prospective Rotary Fellowship if their recreational or vocational interest is not in the list of approved Rotary Fellowships. The Rotary Fellowships are expected to facilitate communication among their members and maintain regular communication with RI. When we talk about \"Rotary Fellowships\", we actually refer to the groups of Rotarians, Rotarian spouses and Rotaractors who join together to: • Share a common interest in worthwhile recreational activities (sports, hobbies, etc.); • Further their vocational development through acquaintance with others of the same profession; • Make new friends around the world; • Explore new opportunities for service; and • Have fun and enhance their experience in Rotary. Examples of Rotary Fellowships include: Rotarians on the Internet (ROTI), International Fellowship of Rotarians of Amateur Radio (ROAR), International Computer Users Fellowship of Rotarians (ICUFR), International Fellowship of Rotary Convention Goers, International Golfing Fellowship of Rotarians, International Fellowship of Rotarians Musicians, Rotary Global History Fellowship, etc. The fields are varied, and include marathon running, scuba diving, flying, bird watching, chess, doll lovers, environment, Esperanto, gourmets, lawyers, magic, nurses, police and law enforcement professionals, recreational vehicles, singles, stockbrokers, venture capitalists, wine and yoga. Each Rotary Fellowship operates independently of Rotary International, with its own rules, dues requirements and administrative structure. Membership is open to Rotarians, spouses of Rotarians and Rotaractors. It must be international in nature with active members in at least three (3) countries. Each fellowship elects at least three (3) officers to oversee the group's administration. The Rotary Fellowships are expected to facilitate communication among their members and maintain regular communication with RI.

#CreativeCorner My body was shamed, and so was my mind framed. To be fat was my mistake, this is what i can relate. My chubby body has been a topic for some, like i eat from their father's income. So i call them cat callers, for them fat and flat is the only thing that bothers. MY I have curves here and there, BODY I love them but why do you care. Oh i have stretch marks on to am i not allowed to live in too ? WAS Why to fit in when i can stand out ? is what i can repeat throughout . SHAMED Being so much skinny is a problem and same is with being fat . Though it was not my choice to be any of it, so how can you put your views upon? Blame is to the scenario that appears very perfect. Everyone is into the fairytales defect. Disney princesses having perfect hair, perfect skin , perfect clothes; and and and most unrealistic body figure, this is the appearance everybody configures. Nothing is perfect as it is potrayed, people please have your minds placed. Making fun of it will not work for you all, one day all your pride would fall . Karma is a bitch they say , it would make you one day pay . - Rtr Shristi Rotaract Club of St Xavier's College [email protected] The Chain || Rotary Fellowship Edition #rotaract3250 [email protected] May || 2020

Application timeline The 2022-23 application will be available in February, 2021. Our approach We see peace not as an abstract concept but as a living, dynamic expression of human development. Peacebuilding is a cornerstone of our mission as a humanitarian service organization, and it is one of our six areas of focus — the channels of activity through which our members make their mark on the world. Our programs, grants and fellowships focus on creating environments where peace can be built and maintained. Rotary believes that if concerned citizens work together to create peace locally, lasting change can happen globally.
