WELCOME TO ROTARY DISTRICT 5500 IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA

Statement from Rotary International About Tolerance for Racism

At Rotary, we have no tolerance for racism. Promoting respect, celebrating diversity, demanding ethical leadership, and working tirelessly to advance peace are central tenets of our work. We have more work to do to create more just, open, and welcoming communities for all people. We know there are no easy fixes and that challenging conversations and work lie before all of us. Rotary’s strength has long been our ability and commitment to bringing people together. We will tap into that strength now as we stand with those who are working for peace and justice. Rotary will do our part to listen, learn, and take action to ensure that we continue to contribute to making positive change.
Rotary shares an interest in protecting our common legacy:
THE ENVIRONMENT 
HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT
CLIMATE CHANGE
FRIENDLY PERSUASION
 
 
MARCH LETTER FROM THE DISTRICT 5500 GOVERNOR
 
 
    March is bringing us all hope. Many Rotarians in the District 5500 have received their first vaccines, and some have received both! Hurray! The FDA just approved a new vaccine from Johnson and Johnson.  Things are indeed looking up!  Some, like myself, are patiently waiting for an appointment. but the vaccine availability will be increasing in Arizona during March and April. We have all had a very long 12 months of worry and stress, with the virus at our doorstep.
 
     Remember you always have a friend in Rotary. The Presidents of  District 5500 Clubs are doing a phenomenal job of keeping their Clubs together by holding virtual and hybrid meetings. When we can once again meet in groups, we need to hug and thank them for being true champions for their Rotary Clubs.
 
    Welcome to March.  March, as you know, introduces the season of Spring.
    Here are some trivial facts about March.
