Welcome to the Rotary Club of Motijhyeel. Happy New Year 2023-2024
Meet the President S M Moinul Islam, PHF
Dear Fellow Rotarians:
Dear Rotarians and Friends:
Welcome to the Rotary year 2024-25.
Dear Rotarian Friends
Warm welcome to Rotary Year 2024-25. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to immediate Past President Rtn PP Rajib Kumar Saha, FCA, PHF and Immediate Past Club Secretary Rtn Mohammed Abdul Khaleque, PHF for presenting a wonderful and exciting year. I also thank all the members of RCM for their active participation in the club activities and contributions to club projects during the past twelve months. I had no quality to become your leader but still you have chosen me to lead your club for the forthcoming Rotary year. I want to believe that I will get all your continued support to make Rotary year 2024-25 another year of success.
You are aware that the forthcoming coming Rotary year is going to start with non-districted status because Rotary International Board of Directors in their January 2024 meeting decided to place the clubs of District 3281 into non-districted status for a period of at least three years with immediate effect due to an investigation conducted on phantom clubs, manipulation of membership numbers for voting purposes, and election engineering revealed significant findings. To led non-districted clubs, Rotary International President appointed PDG Ashish Ghosh of the Rotary Club of New Delhi, India as RI President’s Special Advisor to the non-districted Rotary Clubs in Bangladesh – RIPSA (2024-27) instead of a District Governor. Until further review of the status, our club will remain in Rotary International D64 under supervision of RIPSA.
On 19th April 2024 in Incoming Leaders Training Seminar (ILTS) 2024 PDG Ashish Ghosh said, since there is no district, there is no district activity anymore. In this situation RIPSA suggested the incoming leaders to go back to their own club and work together with the club members to make an action plan covering 7 areas of focus of Rotary International based on 5 avenues of service and take action to execute the plan following the Four-Way Test.
Rotary International President-elect Stephanie Urchick announced that the 2024-25 presidential theme is The Magic of Rotary and called on members to recognize and amplify the organization’s power to save lives. She believes Rotarians create magic with every project they launch, every dollar they raise, and every new member they bring in. She urged clubs to embrace the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion and become Action Plan champion as the path to make our organization stronger. She also encouraged leaders to make their clubs “simply irresistible”.
In Rotary “fellowship” is the number one priority. I invite you all to actively engage in the fellowship, with empathy in mind and with warmth of heart participate generously in the programs and projects to make lasting change in the lives of those needs us because who has heart and hands for service belongs to Rotary.
