Rotary International has several initiatives focused on cleft lip and palate treatment, often in partnership with medical organizations and NGOs. These programs aim to provide surgical care, therapy, and rehabilitation for children born with cleft conditions, especially in underprivileged communities.

In District 5500, Rotarians from the Tubac Rotary Club and the I-19 corridor clubs work with St Andrews Clinic in Nogales monthly focused on health care for children traveling from Mexico. They also annually participate in the weekend of cleft palate surgeries through a collaboration with Children’s Surgery International. This year the Tubac vlub has applied for a Global Grant to increase the number of surgeries and necessary follow-up care for these children. If you want more info or want to help, contact Bud at [email protected] from the Tubac Rotary Club.

Rotary clubs, please take pre-/post- photos of your environmental project.  

This is one way to share the impact of your club's project through visuals. A Google doc will be sent out next week to club presidents to share your service project volunteer data and photos. We would like to share this information in our Rotary in Action Quarterly. 

Thank you for your dedicated planning and future participation in your upcoming Rotary Service project focused on supporting the environment.

Scheduled for April 22-26, your project will have a significant impact on promoting environmental sustainability and raising awareness about conservation efforts. Your commitment to this noble cause is deeply appreciated. Together, we will be undertaking various activities aimed at protecting and nurturing our environment, including community clean-ups and educational efforts. Each of these efforts will contribute to creating a healthier and more sustainable future for our community and beyond.

All club officers for the upcoming Rotary year are invited to attend the District Assembly Trainings. These in-person trainings offer a great opportunity to meet other Rotarians and build confidence as a leader.
