Message from District Governor Elect
Dear leaders of Rotary District 3310,
On the occasion of our District Training Assembly, I would like to refer you to messages from from Rotary International leaders over the past 3 years all related to the 2024-25 theme “the Magic of Rotary”.
Past Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta said, “Rotary is a magic that transforms lives”. It transforms the lives of those who serve and those who are served. It is a magic that brings people together, regardless of their race, religion, or culture, to work for a common cause. It is a magic that has the power to change the world.”
Immediate Past Rotary International President Jennifer E. Jones, the first woman to hold the office of in the organization’s eloquently expressed the magic of Rotary through her vision and leadership. In her vision statement, Jones emphasized the transformative power of Rotary’s Action Plan as a catalyst for increasing impact. She inspired us to Imagine Rotary and magically turn dreams into reality.
Rotary International President-nominee Gordon R. McInally: “Rotary is a magic that transforms lives. It transforms the lives of those who serve and those who are served. It is a magic that brings people together, regardless of their race, religion, or culture, to work for a common cause. It is a magic that has the power to change the world.”
Rotary International President-elect Stephanie A. Urchick said “The Magic of Rotary is our ability to see what others cannot. We see opportunities where others see obstacles. We see solutions where others see problems. We see hope where others see despair. And we see the humanity in all people, no matter their circumstances. In her Vision statement she also highlighted the importance of Rotary’s Action Plan, urging members to champion it, to live it.”
The theme “the Magic of Rotary” is a reminder of the power of Rotary to bring about positive change in the world. It is a call to action for Rotarians to continue to work together to make a difference in their communities and beyond, strengthen their impact, engage members, and contribute to lasting change.
I hope these consistent messages over the years inspire you to continue to in our work to make the world a better place.
Yours in Rotary,

The time has come for the training of incoming District and Club leaders on their roles and responsibilities in the coming year. Some of us have new roles which we may be unfamiliar with while others, although experienced, need to be updated or hear new perspectives.
Training of District and Club leaders is very important to ensure that all leaders are adequately equipped and ready to take on the challenges ahead. This year’s training will take on a new approach which will be more effective and interesting at the same time.
Specific courses available at the Rotary Learning Centre will be prescribed by District Trainer, President James Lee which must be completed before DTTS, PETS and DTA so that all participants can participate in meaningful deliberations.
The DTA also welcomes Rotarians and Rotaractors keen to learn more about Rotary, update themselves on the latest developments and enjoy warm Rotary fellowship.
