As we step into the new Rotary year 2025/26, I am both honored and energized to continue serving as President of the Rotary Club Paphos-Aphrodite for another term. After a year filled with growth, connection, and meaningful projects, we now look ahead — not to repeat, but to evolve.

 

Looking Ahead with Purpose

 

This year, our vision is clear: We want to deepen our impact, extend our reach, and create a club culture where every member feels inspired and connected. Rotary is more than service - it’s about belonging, purpose, and making a lasting contribution. Together, we aim to reflect that spirit in everything we do.

 

Our Focus for 2025/26

 

We have defined five key priorities that will shape our actions:

 🔹 Local Visibility – Through impactful projects, strong social media, and active participation in community life.
 🔹 Engaged Membership – We aim to attract younger, value-driven individuals and create a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere - quality over quantity.
 🔹 Modernized Public Image – Fresh visuals, clear communication, and real stories about our impact in the community.
 🔹 Stronger Partnerships – Collaborations with NGOs, universities, businesses, and fellow Rotary clubs.
 🔹 Club Identity & Spirit – New meeting formats, clearer goals, and more ways to get involved.
 

Our Meeting Formats — Structured & Dynamic

 

This year we’ve introduced a rotating meeting format that brings structure and variety:

 

Upcoming Projects (First Half-Year Preview)

 

 

Our service calendar is already full of exciting initiatives:

 

Each project aligns with our goals: stronger ties, visible presence, and meaningful service.

 

The Heart of Rotary — Our People

 

Behind all these efforts are our members — diverse, dedicated, and full of ideas. Our meetings are becoming more enjoyable, relevant, and value-driven, offering both professional networking and personal inspiration. And while our official vision statement is still in development, our direction is already clear: Purpose. Fellowship. Impact.

 

Final Thoughts

Let us make this Rotary year a true celebration of what binds us: service, friendship, and progress. Let’s inspire one another, embrace new ideas, and take bold steps forward — with purpose and heart.
Together, we don’t just serve — we shape the future of our community.
