Fake email and social media accounts target Rotary members in new scam

These are not authentic Rotary communications. They are phishing and spoofing attempts to obtain money and personal info. READ MORE...

An RI Moment of History...

Ninety years ago, at the 1928 Convention in Minneapolis, MN, the Foundation is named and a Board of Trustees is created. Before that, RI's Board of Directors had oversight of the funds.
