Rotary District 6900

10/16/2026

Everything the Rotary Foundation funds internationally runs through seven categories. They matter because they explain what a Rotary club will and will not take on.

Peacebuilding and conflict prevention
Disease prevention and treatment
Water, sanitation, and hygiene
Maternal and child health
Basic education and literacy
Community economic development
Environment

That is the whole list.

The categories do more work than they look like they do. A global grant must aim at measurable outcomes in at least one of them, and then pass a second test: the result has to be something the community can maintain locally after the funding stops. A gift solves today. Capacity solves the next ten years.

Across District 6900, it shows up as food banks and hunger relief, literacy programs, medical equipment drives, veterans support, and disaster relief.

"If Rotary is to realize its proper destiny, it must be evolutionary at all times, revolutionary on occasion."

Paul Harris wrote that. Zones 33 and 34 have decided this is the occasion.

Rotary Revolution is our Zone Summit, and it lands in Williamsburg, Virginia, October 21–25 — on the ground where a revolution actually started. Its tagline is the whole idea in five words: a revolution led by serving hands. Not noise, not division, but the kind of change that comes from people who show up and do the work.

The new Declaration of Service film is the opening argument for all of it — and Rotarians from clubs across District 6900 are in it. Watch for a face you know.

"We will unite. We will change. We will commit. We will lead. And we will serve."

Five weeks left to nominate a District Governor.

Nominations for the 2029–30 District Governor of District 6900 close October 31. Clubs submit on their candidate's behalf, which means the conversation starts at your club, not with the district.

What the role asks for: a member in good standing who has served a full term as club president, and who will have been a Rotarian for at least seven years by 2029.

What it asks of you is smaller. If someone came to mind while you were reading this, tell them — and tell your club president, who has the packet.

A note for club public image chairs across District 6900: three EPIC Award tasks are due on the same day.

The EPIC Award — Excellence in Public Image Coordination — asks clubs for one task a month and recognizes them at year end. July's task was an audit of the club's online presence. August's was a public image plan. September's is a content calendar.

All three are due October 31.

That is a month away, and a club that has not started has three pieces of work to produce at once. Worth knowing: three completed tasks earns Bronze recognition, so a club that clears this deadline has already earned one.

Tomorrow night, an hour on taking better Rotary photos with the phone already in your pocket.

"Taking Great Rotary Photos" is the Zones 33/34 public image session for September — Wednesday, September 23, at 6:00 PM ET. It covers composition, lighting, simple camera settings, editing, and a repeatable shot list you can hand to whoever is holding the camera at your next project.

The premise: good Rotary photography is not about expensive equipment. It is about seeing the moment and moving closer.

Every club in this district can use this one. Bring your public image chair.

People assume you have to be invited to Rotary.

You don't! You can just visit.

A Rotary club meets weekly — most over lunch, some at breakfast, a few in the evening for people who cannot do either. There is a meal, a speaker, for about an hour, and then everyone goes back to work.

Visitors are welcome at essentially every club in this district, and you are not committing to anything by turning up. Most members will tell you they went once as somebody's guest and kept going back.
