Plan your Reconnect Week event now! Last year, alumni from over 24 countries reconnected with Rotary during the annual Rotary Reconnect Week. This 9-15 October invite alumni in your community to join the celebration. Host an alumni networking night, plan a service project to take action together, or invite them to your next club meeting. When you stay connected with alumni, you not only cultivate new membership opportunities and network with proven leaders, you also help alumni discover new ways to give back through Rotary. World traveling alumna turned tech entrepreneur Social media makes us feel connected at all times, but what about when we want a real, even spontaneous, connection with our friends, classmates, or colleauges? That’s why Karolina, Youth Exchange alumna and Rotaractor, created the new social media app Spontime to invite friends to put down their phones and grab coffee, go for a jog, and make memories together IRL (in real life). Already receiving critical acclaim from the likes of Forbes, Huffington Post, and Digital Trends, the app and its creator are poised to take the tech and social media industry by storm. Rotary Youth Exchange connects in so many ways According to Linda, “when you become a Rotary Youth Exchange student, you never imagine how it might affect you in the long term." Her exchange to Sweden in 1979-80 was only the beginning of her and her family’s Youth Exchange journey. Find out how her family has discovered a whole new world of culture, language, and laughter through Rotary Youth Exchange. | ||
