Shinichi Miura“As this passionate batonchanges hands”

Having espoused the theme of “SERVE TO CHANGELIVES” for the 2021-2022 year, RI President Shekhar Mehta
stated, “We will expand Rotary service as we ‘grow moreand do more.’” He continued by elaborating on the needto develop membership, saying, “The answer is each one,bring one – ask each Rotarian to bring one member toRotary.” In doing so, President Mehta indicated the pathto Rotary’s growth.
Based on this theme, we adopted “Connect with a spiritof service, from the region to the world” as our District
slogan, and discussed it at Official Visits with each club in
the District. Thanks to the efforts of our club members andDistrict Officers, everyone connected their spirits througha myriad of projects even during the COVID-19 pandemic,
successfully proving that clubs are the main force behind
Rotary activities.
For the first time in Rotary history, the International
Assembly was conducted over Zoom. We took part inthis assembly late at night over an eleven-day period.
Thanks to the efforts of the Officer delegation, we successfully held the Three Key Training Seminars in a physical format while maintaining sufficient distance from eachother. Between last July and September, the Olympic andParalympic Games were held in Tokyo, and the District2020 Support Committee successfully spearheaded fullscale efforts to help out. Membership Development, Public
Image, Vocational Service, the Committee Chair Yoneyama
Meeting, The Rotary Foundation Seminar and other events
organized by the District were held physically whenever
the COVID-19 pandemic permitted it, and we benefited
from considerable club member participation.
Although we have been forced to change our schedule
for new member orientation countless times, we stuck toa physical format and paired it with a discussion. I feel that
our new members were able to take a considerable step
forward as Rotarians as a result.
For external projects, to simultaneously mark bothour District’s Rotary Day of Service and World Polio Day,
the Public Image Committee spearheaded efforts to display hanging ads reading “END POLIO NOW” in Tokyo
trains. Nearby Districts also gave their support, evoking aconsiderable response. Simultaneously, we held a walk rallywith polio survivors between Tokyo Station and Yurakucho
Station, generating awareness among people along thestreet and those who gathered at the plaza in front of thelatter station.
With the founding of new clubs, our numbers haveincreased. New Rotaract clubs have also been founded,resulting in the addition of young members to our ranks
and enabling us to pursue a Rotary that stands for thefuture. Through “Homecoming Day,” which was planned
and implemented by the Rotary Family Support Committeethat we newly founded in 2021-22 year, past participantsin various Youth Service activities fields gather together toengage in discussion, deepen their friendship, take eachother’s hands as members of the same Rotary family, andoutline the path that they will proceed to walk down
together. This project is hugely important for that reason,
and we have great expectations for its further development going forward.
While it is a shame that the Pacific Basin Group could
not join our District Conference, it was held over a two-day
period just as it was in previous years. The large number ofmembers who attended was surprising and pleasing.
In February, war, which Rotary despises more than anything else, broke out. Many citizens lost their lives, a nation
was destroyed, and numerous people were forced tobecome refugees. Ukraine is also home to many Rotarians.
I want us to unite our spirt and extend them a helping
hand, and implore you to cooperate towards that end.
In June, the Rotary International Convention will be heldin the U.S. city of Houston. Following the convention, I alsointend to make an Official Visit to the Pacific Basin Group
as well. This visit will mark the official event that will cap off
my year as District Governor, as well as the first time in twoyears that I will have been able to make Official Visits to all
clubs in the District. Allow me to close my final Governor’s
MONTHLY LETTER by expressing my deepest appreciation
for mankind’s ability to get the better of COVID-19 in ourstruggle with the virus and press on forward once more.
Wishing you all my heartfelt love and gratitude.
