District Governor Garrett Capobianco's June Message
 
 

June is Rotary’s Fellowship Month, a time to celebrate the friendships, connections, and shared experiences that unite us in service. District Governor Garrett Capobianco reminds us that Rotary is more than the projects we complete—it is the relationships we build, the understanding we foster, and the global network of friends we create along the way.

 

Through fellowship, we strengthen our clubs, deepen our commitment to service, and build bridges across communities, cultures, and generations. Together, let us continue to cultivate meaningful connections that inspire collaboration, promote goodwill, and amplify our impact. Through Service Above Self, we demonstrate that lasting change begins with people coming together in friendship and purpose.

R.I. President Francesco Arezzo's June Message

As my year as president of Rotary International comes to a close, I offer my heartfelt thanks to each member of our global Rotary family. Your kindness, warmth, and dedication have changed my life.

During this year, I had the privilege of traveling across our world, from San Francisco, birthplace of the United Nations, to the innovative Rotary clubs of Nigeria. In every place, I saw Rotary members and our partners working side by side to create lasting, positive change, reminding me that our strength lies in shared purpose.

District News
District Governor Garrett Capobianco and district leaders recently traveled to Bermuda to participate in the Presidents-Elect Learning Seminar (PELS), helping prepare incoming club leaders for a successful Rotary year ahead.

The training brought together President-Elects and Secretary-Elects and included sessions on leadership development and district grant applications. During the visit, District Governor Garrett also installed several incoming club presidents as they prepare to lead their clubs in the upcoming Rotary year.

A special highlight of the event was the presentation of certificates of appreciation to District Secretary Peronia Browne and Assistant Governor Leslie Grant in recognition of their dedication and Service Above Self throughout the Rotary year.
 
     
The Rotary Clubs of Staten Island recently came together for Networking for Good, an evening dedicated to fellowship, connection, and community building. Hosted collaboratively by Staten Island’s five Rotary clubs, Gateway Rotary Club of Staten Island, Mid-Island Rotary Club, North Shore Rotary of Staten Island, South Shore Rotary of Staten Island, and Rotary Club of Staten, the event provided an opportunity for members to strengthen relationships and celebrate the spirit of Rotary.

More than just a networking event, Networking for Good showcased the power of collaboration among Rotarians who share a common commitment to making a positive impact in their communities. Members exchanged ideas, built new connections, and reinforced the partnerships that help drive meaningful service projects throughout Staten Island and beyond.
 
       
Service Above Self was on full display as Rotarians from Staten Island’s five Rotary Clubs, Gateway, Mid-Island, North Shore, South Shore, and Staten Island Rotary, came together for the annual EPIC Day of Service at Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden.
 
Working side by side in fellowship and service, volunteers dedicated their time and energy to beautifying and enhancing community gathering spaces throughout the Snug Harbor campus. The day’s projects included mulching new pathways around Building P, transplanting sunflowers along the farm fence line, planting pollinators, revitalizing insect hotels, spreading woodchips and mulch throughout the South Meadow area, and improving landscaping along Chapel Road, Gazebo Road, and Melville Extension.
 
                                          
From New York to Nigeria, the fight to End Polio Now continues through the power of global Rotary fellowship and service. District 7230 is deeply grateful to Prince Henry Akinyele (District Governor D9111), Rotary International District 9111, and the incredible Nigerian Rotarians for warmly hosting Assistant Governor, Abit Ragbeer, and Public Image Chair, Tasmain Warren, during their visit to Nigeria.

Joining the polio immunization exercise at the Police College Health Centre alongside the District PolioPlus team was a truly unforgettable experience and a powerful reminder that Rotary’s impact is global. Witnessing firsthand the dedication, coordination, and tireless commitment of Nigerian Rotarians to polio eradication left us inspired and deeply moved.
