Across Zones 33/34, women are changing what leadership looks like in Rotary.

They are leading clubs, creating new ideas, mentoring the next generation, serving boldly, showing up, and taking action.

And we want to celebrate them.

The Rotary Zones 33/34 Public Image Team is creating a special Rotary Revolution video, for zone summit in Williamsburg, Va and we want YOUR photos of the incredible women who make Rotary stronger.

Post your favorite photos of women in Rotary in the comments belowโ€ฆ serving, leading, laughing, traveling, volunteering, mentoring, celebrating, and being true People of Action.

Maybe itโ€™s your club president.

Maybe itโ€™s a mentor, a friend, a district leader, or someone whose passion for service inspires everyone around her.

Please include her name, Rotary club, and district in the comments, if available.

We want to tell this story through the faces of the women who are moving Rotary forward.

Because the Rotary Revolution isnโ€™t coming.

Itโ€™s already happening.

And women are helping lead the way.

Bernie typically delivers once a week, stepping in whenever needed. ๐Ÿš™๐Ÿฝ๏ธ His delivery days usually take about 1ยฝ hours, but the time he spends with our clients means much more than simply dropping off a meal. ๐‡๐ข๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฏ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ž ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐Œ๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐–๐ก๐ž๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ž๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐š๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ญ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐š๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž: ๐ฌ๐ž๐ž๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐žโ€™๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐š๐œ๐ž๐ฌ. ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ

Today was a wonderful morning after a holiday weekend to meet our guests and hear from OUR S4TL youth leaders and the experience they gained. Our Guest speaker and Member Spotlight was our own Rotarian Katie Ashmore, Principal of Caldwell Elementary who gave us insight to her passion for education and her school. They have achieved many goals and still keep aiming for the PLOT! Congratulations on the "B".
