RI President Holger Knaack stated in his Presidential Address: Rotary is not just a club that you join. It is an invitation to endless opportunities. It opens opportunities to serve in a project as big and historic as End Polio Now and also in a small community project, where you just plant a tree.
 
And it opens opportunities for you to live a richer, more meaningful life, with friends around the world, based on our core values.
 
As Rotarians, we are very blessed to take on leadership roles at this wonderful moment for our organization.
 
Everything we do opens another opportunity for someone, somewhere.
 
Therefore, the theme for our year is: Rotary Opens Opportunities.
