On July 13, the Rotary Club of Wilmette co-hosted with the Rotary Clubs of Evanston, a presentation by incoming RI President Gordon Mclnally. Our own President, Mariana Alfar, acted as emcee for the event. It was held at the Rotary International headquarters in Evanston. By all accounts, it was a well-attended event and President McInally gave an inspiring address. He explained the significance of this year's theme, "Create Hope in the world" by working for peace and mental wellbeing. He urges members to engage in tough conversations and earn the trust that’s necessary to realize these values. He explained that the goal is to restore hope to help the world heal from destructive conflicts and to help achieve lasting change. He emphasized the need for peace and continuity, including work to empower women and work toward diversity, equity, and inclusion, while not neglecting our mission to end polio. |
