April is Rotary Magazine Month

“Being a Rotarian is a shared experience and like attending a Rotary club meeting, reading our Rotary magazine is an essential
part of that shared experience.–Ron Burton, RI President 2014-2014
Last month, we celebrated Literacy Month and this month, we reflect on how through reading we can improve our knowledge of
Rotary. Everything in our lives depends on consistent, accurate and constant communication. We receive Rotary communica-
tions regularly through our club bulletins, emails from various sources, our Club & District websites, this District Newsletter and
most importantly our regional magazine, Rotary Down Under.
As part of our Rotary membership all Rotarians receive a Rotary magazine. Some members opt to receive the RI publication,
“The Rotarian”, used in North America and in other parts of the world but the preferred option in Australia is Rotary Down Under
(RDU). RDU represents the complete education and resource tool for Rotarians in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
Spending 30 minutes each month reading the monthly magazine makes Rotarians more knowledgeable about Rotary and better
equipped to promote the organisation to friends, family workmates and others. The RDU magazine is also a great source of ideas
for new and worthwhile service projects and ideas on how to make our clubs more effective. It can also trigger debate and dis-
cussion as well as remind us of the value of fun and fellowship In Rotary.
Rotary Down Under was established as a regional magazine in 1965 but remained a complementary publication to the official
magazine of Rotary International – TheRotarian – until 1978. In that year it became the world’s first Rotary regional magazine to
gain full recognition. Though The Rotarian is still the flagship publication of Rotary International, RDU is now one of 32 regional
magazines distributed in more than 130 countries and written in 25 languages. These magazines provide a direct link between
Rotary International and all its clubs. They share the information and stories every Rotarian needs to read.
When you have finished reading your magazines, please do not dispose of them. Collect as many as possible from club mem-
bers and recycle them. Place them anywhere that people are likely to read them, such as in dental surgeries, doctors’ surgeries,
hair dressers, schools, libraries, coffee shops etc. Doing this provides an opportunity for non-Rotarians to read about our pro-
grams. And don’t forget to pass them onto your local Interact or Rotaract Club.
