RI President’s
Theme for 2009-10
The 2009-10 RI theme acknowledges
the important role individual Rotary
clubs will play in shaping the future
of Rotary.

unveiled the theme, The Future of
Rotary Is in Your Hands, on Monday

shaped at RI headquarters -- it will be
shaped in each and every Rotary
club," Kenny said, "because it is for
each of us -- as Rotarians -- to do what
is necessary to keep Rotary strong."
Kenny acknowledged the foundation
