Former Rotary International President-elect [2025-26], Mário César Martins de Camargo asked members to Unite for Good by embracing growth, service, and connection as he outlined a plan to expand “the best-qualified team of volunteers on the planet.”
“Rotary’s greatest asset is not our history, our projects, or even our unmatched global reach. It is our members,” de Camargo said at the organization’s International Assembly in Orlando, Florida, USA, on 10 February. He noted praise from one of Rotary’s partners about “the extraordinary dedication” of Rotary members. “That recognition from an outsider deepened my understanding: Rotary’s greatest gift to the world is its people.”

As Rotarians of the San Francisco Bay Area we have the ability to save lives by supporting the American Heart Association's annual fundraiser "Heart Walk".
Did you know 9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die? In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this.
Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death.
It's time to unite, take action, and save lives. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
We Walk to Save Lives. Sign up to participate, to lead a team, to donate, to recruit friends and family. Together, we can turn bystanders into lifesavers.
Rotarians let's UNITE FOR GOOD for Heart Walk 2025!
