District 6440 Annual Meeting
Virtual EventApr 22, 2023
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

On Thursday evening November 3, over 170 Rotarians and guests gathered to Celebrate District 6440’s engagement with The Rotary Foundation and the district's impact locally and internationally.
Rotary International Director Pat Merryweather-Arges lauded District 6440’s generous giving to the Foundation. She also recognized our club's participation in meaningful service projects locally and internationally. She made special note of our district’s collaboration with sixteen districts in a recent Disaster Response Grant providing $400,00 in medical supplies to Ukraine.
Other guests included our district's current Global Grant and Peace Fellow Scholars, and Barbara Toney of The Blane Foundation, who announced a $100,000 gift to the PolioPlus fund of The Rotary Foundation.
A highlight of the evening was recognizing our four clubs with total contributions topping $1 Million to The Rotary Foundation: the Rotary Clubs of Highland-Park Highwood, Northbrook, Wheeling and Wilmette, and our Top 3 Giving Clubs in Rotary year 2021-22—Dundee Township, NE Chicagoland Passport and Northbrook.
During the evening we paused to recognize how our clubs participate in The Rotary Foundation's mission—Doing Good in the World, and recognizing those who make the world a better place with their time and treasure! Big thanks to all of our Paul Harris Fellows, Benefactors, Paul Harris Society, Polio Plus Society, and Bequest Society members, Major Donors, and Arch Klumph Society donors. THANK YOU!

You may be aware that the three Northern Illinois Rotary Districts (6420, 6440 & 6450) are bidding to host the 2030 International Convention. We need your help impressing the Selection Committee!
On Friday, October 21 from 7am-3pm, at Pioneer Court (Just north of the Apple Store on Michigan Avenue) in Chicago we are holding a special community engagement event - and all Rotarians from our district are invited to participate.
Volunteers will answer questions and help manage the display. We will set up ShelterBoxes, RILEE, a table to talk about Rotary, and other Rotary materials to engage passersby. We will also collect information for potential membership development.
Rotary International Convention 2030 Selection Committee members will “randomly” stop by that morning to see us in action, assess our commitment and visualize what it could look like in 2030. This is a great opportunity to showcase our Northern Illinois Rotary Districts' commitment to community engagement - which is now a part of the evaluation criterion.
Please bring your positive energy, Rotary answers, and can-do attitude to Pioneer Court!
