The 2026 World Affairs Seminar registration window is now open. We invite you to sponsor student delegates from your community for a weeklong academic program where high-school students build real-world skills in diplomacy, leadership, and peacebuilding.
The Rotary Foundation (TRF) District 6000 endowment for the Future has been created. Endowment funds protect and invest the money donated and uses the income from those investments to fund Rotary’s good works. A special component of endowment funds is that the donated funds continue to create income in perpetuity, benefiting Rotary and District 6000 forever.
How does this work? A donation into our District 6000 Endow SHARE account #E21626 is pooled with the rest of the donations made into that account. While that money is invested and protected from spending, income from that account is divided between TRF World Fund and District Designated Funds (DDF). The World Fund provides general support within Rotary wherever the need is greatest. DDF is used here in District 6000 to support local community grant projects as well as Global Grants. Supporting our District 6000 Endowment for the Future #E21626 is the best way to provide continued support for local projects. If you want to contribute be sure to include the number E21626. You can use this FORM or make an online contribution HERE (select NAMED FUND and enter E21626).
Over the past 2 ½ years, the Rotary District 6000 Membership Action Team/Committee has been working to identify and accomplish membership goals as part of Rotary Zone 29 Regional Rotary Roadmap. The roadmap is designed to provide districts with ideas and motivation to increase activities and success. A byproduct of this roadmap is for districts to encourage clubs to participate in a Membership Olympics Challenge among clubs. The purpose of this challenge is to work towards setting goals, achieving membership growth and development, to improve the overall health and vibrancy of Rotary Clubs, have FUN, and create friendly competition along the way.
