Jeb and Evan Bakke recently returned from an inspiring experience at the International Assembly held from February 10–13 at the scenic Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida. This four-day event marked the final training and graduation stage for district governors-elect before they step into their roles this coming July. Congratulations Jeb!
Something special happened during the Assembly, Ravishankar and Paola Dakoju of India declared that they would contribute approximately $50 million ($4.5 billion Indian rupees) to the Rotary Foundation. What an amazing gift!
President-Elect Olayinka Babalola's 2026-27 urged members of Rotary to "Create Lasting Impact" by making their clubs more welcoming, carrying out impactful projects, and allowing their Rotary experiences to transform them personally. Listen to his entire presidential message.
