Our
Organization:
Rotary is organized at club, district and international levels to
carry out its program of service around the world. Rotarians are
members of their club, which is a member of the global association
known as Rotary International. Each club elects its own officers
and enjoys considerable autonomy within the framework of its constitution
and bylaws.
Clubs are grouped into Rotary districts, each led by a District
Governor who is an officer of Rotary International The Don Mills
club is one of 55 clubs in District 7070. This District extends
from Alliston in the Northwest corner, south to Toronto and the
east to Belleville and Picton.
There are many active clubs in the towns outside Toronto and another
24 in Toronto.
The District is led by the District Governor, who in turn is supported
by Assistant District Governors and District Committees

What
Are My Responsibilities As A Rotarian?
“Service
above self is our motto and
we dedicate ourselves to help those in need as best we can.”
Everyone is able to contribute in different ways, and we should
find the way to make the best use of our talents with the amount
of time and resources that we have available.
Fellowship and friendships are the cornerstones on which we build
our Rotary Club. Rotary should be fun and rewarding. This can be
achieved in may ways:
Regular attendance at our weekly meetings helps us to get to know
each other better.
Participating in projects should be rewarding and enjoyable.
It provides the personal satisfaction that helps build “Pride
of Membership”.

Summing
Up
ROTARY
is not Rotary International, nor the buildings in Evanston, nor
District 7070
nor the Don Mills Rotary club. It is you and me and each individual
Rotarian. It is over
1 million Rotarians, men and women, throughout the world striving
to improve health
where disease is rampant, trying to alleviate hunger and upgrade
living standards where poverty exists, and providing cultural and
educational exchanges to further the ideal of World Peace and Understanding.
One individual’s effort may seem insignificant but the collective
effort of all Rotarians
is surprisingly effective and significant.
“Welcome
to the wonderful world of Rotary”.
