In January, Rotary Awareness Month, let's all set aside time to catch up on Rotary news and brush up on Rotary knowledge. The purpose of this special month is to gain a better understanding of what Rotary is all about for our own growth as Rotarians, and so that we can increase the public's awareness of Rotary's work in our community and around the world. Remember: The best Rotarian is the one who knows Rotary best!
