Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience.
As a member of the International Fellowship of Rotary Musicians (IFRM), I was privileged to sing with a choir of fellow musicians at the RI Convention in Los Angeles. This year our friend, Madhumita Bishnu whom we first met through Nick Leon's visit to the village in India where we support girl's education, participated in the choir in Melbourne.

Climate communicator and RI convention speaker Katharine Hayhoe wants us to speak to the heart
Katharine Hayhoe crunches the data. She analyzes the models. Then she explains it all, in terms the rest of us can understand — the enormity of our climate crisis, how it magnifies virtually every other serious challenge, and how all hope is not lost. Not by a long shot.
Hope remains as long as there are people who care enough to have a conversation, which, it turns out, is most people. In a 2023 survey, 63 percent of Americans reported they were somewhat or very worried about climate change. In Canada, that figure was 71 percent. In some of the countries with the largest numbers of Rotary members, places like Brazil and India, it was over 80 percent.
The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.
Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.
With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.
