My Why in Rotary

Why are you a Rotarian?

Here is one answer -

Rotary makes people better - it makes me better. The friendships, ideas, and energy we find through Rotary inspire us every day - and give us a special purpose that makes us all better. Consider the Four-Way Test.

The members of the Rotary Clubs in my area continually amaze me with their creativity, innovation, and commitment to making our community stronger. Rotary clubs in our area are filled with purpose, and dedicated to excellent projects that bring those purposes to life.

All around the world, Rotary clubs of every size work with the same spirit - devoted friends and neighbours creating lasting, positive change.

With Rotary, we all find inspiration, we all have something to contribute, and together we are so much better and richer.

People need something to lead them forward - an idea, an inspiration, a purpose. Without purpose, we are adrift. Rotary provides that purpose and expands it outward, multiplying it for the goo of our communities and our world.

Rotary has 5 areas of service.

Club service
Vocational service
Community service
International service
New Generations (Youth) service

There is a place for every one of us to serve!

Welcome to Rotary year 2025-26!!!

We are half way through Rotary year - a successful and award-winning Rotary Year - 2025-26!!!

Francesco Arezzo of Italy selected to be 2025-26 Rotary International President!

Francesco Arezzo, a member of the Rotary Club of Ragusa, Italy, has been selected by the Board of Directors to become Rotary International’s president for 2025-26. Arezzo will become president on 1 July.

The Board conducted a special session following the unexpected resignation of RI President-elect Mário César Martins de Camargo on 8 June. Guided by the RI code and policies, the Board selected the new president-elect from a pool of candidates who were considered by the Nominating Committee for President of Rotary International in August 2023.

The 2025-26 presidential message, announced at the 2025 Rotary International Assembly in February, will remain Unite for Good, which calls on Rotary members to be a force for unity in a world increasingly divided by politics, geography, and ideology. Through service projects, Rotary brings together people of every background — across races, religions, and professions — in a shared mission to do good in their communities.

Arezzo is an orthodontist in private practice. He is active internationally as a member of the Italian, European, and American orthodontics associations. He is vice president of the National Association of Italian Dentists for the province of Ragusa and was the founder and head for seven years of the delegation for Ragusa of the National Trust for Italy. He is a Knight of Honor and Devotion in Obedience within the Sovereign Order of Malta.

A Rotary member for more than 30 years, Arezzo has served as vice chair of the Joint Strategic Planning Committee and as RI director, learning facilitator, and as district conference presidential representative.

Arezzo is a Benefactor of The Rotary Foundation. He is married to Anna Maria Criscione, an entrepreneur in the tourism field. They have two children.
