We are excited to invite you to the upcoming ZONE Institute September 4-7th happening in Columbus, Ohio — a premier Rotary event that promises to inspire, connect, and energize your Rotary journey! The Lima Rotary Club will help with expenses for up to two members who wish to attend.

Why You Should Attend:

✅ Curate Your Experience: Choose from 40+ breakout sessions on leadership, service, membership, and public image.
✅ Be Inspired: Hear from nationally known speakers who are shaping the future of Rotary.
✅ Connect & Collaborate: Explore the vibrant House of Friendship, where fun, fellowship, and innovative ideas come together.
✅ One-Day, Big Impact: Maximize your Rotary learning and networking — all in one unforgettable Saturday!

Can’t attend the full conference? No problem! ​​​​​ We’re offering a special Saturday-Only Registration (September 6th) so you can experience the best of the Institute in just one power-packed day. Whether you're a club president, committee chair, or engaged member, the Saturday experience provides maximum value in minimum time. Don't miss this convenient opportunity to recharge your Rotary batteries right here in Ohio! You'll return to your club with fresh ideas, new energy, and valuable connections - all gained in one powerful day.

👉 Register today for the Saturday-only option or the full Institute experience! https://www.rizones30-31.org/institute/2025-columbus/

We don't often get an opportunity to have the Zone Institute so close to home, so the five Rotary Districts in Ohio are in a friendly competition for the most Rotarians per capita from their district to register early. The competition closes tomorrow, Thursday, July 31st, so don't delay if you are planning to attend!

Hyatt Regency Columbus hotel registration is separate and closes on Monday, August 4th. 

We hope to see you in Columbus!

Yours in Rotary Service,

Pam Brumbaugh
District Governor 2025-2026
