President’s Message

     We welcome you to the Rotary Club of Zanesville Daybreak’s website. We are a small part of a very

large force called Rotary International. Rotary is comprised of over 34,000 clubs in over 200 countries

made up of 1.2 million people. Rotarians working together for the common good of the world can

accomplish miraculous things.

     Rotary’s theme for the 2017-2018 year is: Rotary: Making A Difference. We have all had the

opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. Did we take it? If you joined Rotary, you definitely

took an opportunity to make a difference. It is sometimes difficult for Rotarians to answer the much

asked question, what does Rotary do? Our current International President, Ian H. S. Risely, has tried to

simplify our response. He asks and answers three questions. What do we do? - Improve people’s lives.

Where do we do it? - Locally and globally. How do we do it? - Through service. So, when he puts the

response together, Rotary improves people’s lives, locally and globally, through service.

     Rotary continues to change to accommodate its members and to attract new members. Rotary has

adapted new attendance policies in order to meet the needs of busy young professionals focusing more

on engagement and service. Rotary wants their members to be engaged with their community through

service projects. We hope community members will accept an invitation to visit our club.

                                                             Yours in Service,

                                                             Mary Hildebrand

                                                             President of Rotary Club of Zanesville Daybreak
