On the 21st August, we reached another milestone in the Countdown to History. It has been three years since a child in Nigeria was paralyzed by the wild poliovirus. This means that the entire World Health Organization (WHO) African region could be certified as wild poliovirus-free as soon as mid-2020. When this happens, 5 out of the 6 WHO regions in the world will be considered polio-free.
Mark Daniel Maloney President 2019-20
During 2019-2020, I am encouraging Rotarians and Rotaractors to grow Rotary. We must grow our service, we must grow the impact of our projects, but, most importantly, we must grow our membership so that we can achieve more.
The 2019 Council on Legislation may not have made as many dramatic changes as the 2016 Council, but it made several decisions that will shape the future of Rotary and Rotaract.

Congratulations to the club and individuals who received recognition and awards, and a special thank you to our Changeover & Awards Committee for putting together the special evening.
District 7080 has a variety of volunteer positions that are open to all qualified Rotarians in the district. Current District Opportunities are Vocational Service Director and PolioPlus Committee Chair.
2017-18 Rotary International President, Ian Riseley, challenged every Rotarian throughout the world to plant one tree. District 7080 met the challenge by planting over 5,000 trees. A remarkable feat. Congratulations to all of the clubs who participated and made our tree planting weekend a huge success. Here is a short video prepared by AJ Rana, District Public Relations Director.
The Oakville Rotaractors, along with members of the Oakville Clubs (including the new Passport Club) staffed a table at Oakville Place mall to inform the public about the fight to end polio.
In recognition of World Polio Day the four Oakville Rotary clubs organized a flag raising of the Rotary at Town Hall yesterday.
The Mayor Rob Burton and Regional Town Councillor Jeff Knoll (who is a Rotarian) and well as members from the 4 clubs were in attendance.
Be a part of RI President Barry Rassin's goal to grow Rotaract this year. Take a pledge to start a new Rotaract club and sign up to receive support every step of the way.
Having a consistent brand image is important to all organisations, Rotary is no exception.
In 2013, a new logo & brand image pack was developed, this was to ensure every club, in every district across the world could have the same high standard of brand recognition.
There a lot of old style Rotary graphics still being displayed on various publications, including newsletters & flyers, posts on social media and hardware items, such as banners and signs.
