Imagine a world that deserves our best, where we get up each day knowing that we can
make a difference. You don’t imagine yesterday. You imagine tomorrow.

Imagine a world without polio.

Imagine a world with clean water for everyone.

Imagine a world free of disease. A world where every child learns to read.

Imagine kindness and hope and love and peace.
And that, my dear friends, is why our theme is Imagine Rotary.

Imagina Rotary.

Imaginons le Rotary.

Immagina il Rotary.

Imajin Rotari イマジン ロータリー

Sangsanghara Rotary 상상하라 로타리

Imagine O Rotary.

is the important question.

On July 1, the clock starts ticking. How will you use these minutes?
