Message from the Club President

Hello and welcome to the webpage of Rotary Club of Dhaka Luminous!

Rotary club of Dhaka Luminous is one of the prominent and vibrant rotary club in Bangladesh. The club was established on 30 June 2015 with an intention to create a network of friends who wants to serve the community. Since then the club has grown and achieved many milestones. It is an honor and privilege to serve as the President of such a dynamic and dedicated group of individuals committed to making a difference in our community and around the world. Our club has a rich history of service, fellowship, and leadership, and I am excited to continue this legacy with all of you.

This year, our theme is The Magic of Rotary, reflecting our commitment to create magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member of Rotary. Together, we will focus on impactful projects, meaningful partnerships, and strengthening our bonds as a club. Whether it’s through local initiatives, international service projects, or professional development, we are united in our mission to create lasting change.

I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our activities, events, and the wonderful work our members are doing. Whether you are a long-time Rotarian or new to our organization, there are many opportunities for you to get involved, share your ideas, and contribute to our mission.

Thank you for your support and dedication to Rotary. Together, we can achieve extraordinary things and continue to make a positive impact in our community and beyond.

Message from the Rotary International President (2024-25)

 

Rotary is at its best when we foster a sense of inclusion and belonging in our clubs. In fact, I would go so far as to say that belonging is The Magic of Rotary itself. With a focus on inclusivity and belonging, it is easier to be united in a common purpose. When we are committed to one another and focused on our goals, we are most effective. Rotary’s Action Plan can help. The Action Plan comes with tools you can use to collect feedback, assess your club’s strengths and weaknesses, and address challenges.

The world is changing, and our clubs can’t afford to stand still. But the changes we make need to be consistent and strategic — building on one another toward a greater vision. The Action Plan can help you work toward that vision and create effective change within your club. Following the Action Plan and addressing suggestions from the community will go a long way to fostering the sense of belonging we want all Rotary members to feel in their clubs.

That’s why expanding our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is so important. Committing ourselves to each other’s well-being is the first step to expanding our reach, allowing us to spread Positive Peace in these troubled times. Peacebuilding is one of our top priorities, and one of the most effective ways we can build peace is with our Rotary Peace Fellowships, through which peace and development professionals learn how to prevent and end conflict.

We offer the fellowships through our Rotary Peace Centers at leading universities around the globe, where more than 1,800 Rotary Peace Fellows have graduated. And thanks to a $15.5 million gift from the Otto and Fran Walter Foundation, we can continue supporting peacebuilders in more regions with the next peace center at Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul.

Opening another peace center is a monumental achievement, and it is my great honor to invite you to celebrate at next year’s Rotary Presidential Peace Conference at the Istanbul center. The three-day conference 20-22 February will highlight the many ways our family of Rotary advances peacebuilding. Registration for the conference is officially open. I hope to see you there.

The 2025 Rotary Presidential Peace Conference has great potential for our peacebuilding efforts — but only if we have your support. The truth is, we’re not going to bring peace to the world, end polio, or grow membership by waving a wand and saying some funny words. It’s up to you. You create the magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member inducted.

I love my Rotary family and I know you do too. That’s why I know that together, we can make every club and district simply irresistible. This year, let us change the world by embracing The Magic of Rotary.
