Rotary eClub One was the first Rotary eClub in the
world and on 4th January 2024 we were delighted to be able to celebrate
our 22nd anniversary. From those early days until now we have grown into
23 countries with 74 members. It is especially pleasing that our Charter
President Dr. John Minter remains an active and dedicated member today.
Our online activities are evolving and the
opportunities to connect and engage with members and their families are
constantly improving.
We are a live example of how a diverse group of
cultures can practice and promote peace, and create hope around the world.
Our members in Rotary eClub One continue to support
R. I. President Gordon R. McInally’s theme of creating hope in the world, and
we do this through our service projects.
