Eight contestantswowed fellow Rotarians and guests at our club-level speech contest on March 16, 2023 with their original speeches on the topic of Imagine Rotary, the theme introduced by this year's Rotary International President Jennifer Jones.
The Rotary Clubs of District 5170 sponsor the Richard D. King Annual Youth Speech Contest each year with three goals in mind for the club members and each contest participant:
To increase personal knowledge and awareness of the importance of being able to speak effectively before a group.
To increase public knowledge of what Rotary is and does throughout the world, especially among young people. Through this knowledge, we hope that they will learn, as we have in the past, "He who profits most serves best."
To increase participation in the contest and to provide all high school contestants with an opportunity to win prizes as top public speaker, or runner up, in District 5170.
Support water, sanitation, and hygiene efforts on World Water Day
Your Title Here
World Water Day is held every 22 March to highlight the importance of clean water. This UN observance is also used to advocate for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. This year’s World Water Day will focus on accelerating solutions to urgent water and sanitation needs around the world. In Lebanon, for example, all the country’s Rotary clubs united behind a global grant-funded project to bring clean drinking water to nearly every school in the country in partnership with other organizations and Lebanese government ministries. And in Ecuador, the Rotary Club of Guaranda, Bolívar, worked with community leaders in the village of Cochapamba and with a regional water agency to build a system that now provides clean drinking water for 133 families.
The Rotary theme for March, Water and Sanitation, asks us to focus on the life changing improvements that we can make through these international projects to provide a more readily available and healthy supply of water to all people.
