The Rotarian Magazine’s annual photo contest winners showcase the people, places, and projects that show Rotary in action. And digital strategist for National Geographic, Keith Jenkins, not only selected the winners from nearly 500 entries, he offered his professional expertise to budding photographers looking to capture the perfect shot. Check out all of this year’s winners and get tips to capture a winning photo for next year’s contest. June is Rotary Fellowships Month and more than 60 Rotary Fellowships offer opportunities to make friends around the world with Rotarians, family members, program participants, and alumniâ¯who share a common interest in a hobby, sport, or profession. But it’s not just about having fun, many fellowships also use their special interests to serve others, volunteering, organizing specialized service projects, and teaching new skills. Learn more about fellowships and how you can get involved.
