Rotary In The News
The Media Relations team at Rotary International has the unique privilege of sharing Rotary’s positive impact with new audiences by securing external media coverage of their stories.
Between July and October 2023, the team collaborated closely with Rotary members to help hone their messages, secure interviews, and develop content that appeared in top national and regional media in more than 13 countries around key relevant moments including World Mental Health Day and World Polio Day.
Rotary’s brand was amplified through 85 pieces of media coverage in outlets with a combined audience of 976 million that reached an estimated 1.6 million and garnered more than a thousand comments, likes, and shares on social media.

Mike McKinney had his 2nd of 3 brain surgeries for his hand tremors. He is doing well and will let us know when his 3rd and final surgery (for the "pacemaker" unit) is done.
David White's wife, Sherry, is still in the hospital with pneumonia. She will move to rehab soon where she will work on getting stronger.
Sue Yowell is back from California where she had a very specialized cancer scan (FES) that isn't available yet in Colorado. She had planned to use Angel Flight to get to/from California but due to pilot scheduling issues, they had her fly on United both ways. The results of the test showed that is no lobular cancer, which is what they were looking for. But they are going to keep watching her ribs as there is something there that looks like metastatic but they can’t confirm.

Today's Program
John Minier gave a presentation on our Ecuador Water Project, targeted for the Kutsutkao Village in the Achuar Territory, located in the Amazonian Headwaters Rainforest. Sunrise Rotarians were quite curious about "Chicha" and "Ayahuasca"! Thank you, John, for a GREAT! presentation! There will be a follow-on presentation in 4-6 weeks where we'll show how the project is being funded.
David always has our room set up, the audio visual working and the badge box ready for us! We count on all of this to magically be there, ready to go, when we arrive. Thank you David for being there for us! We appreciate you!
