Rotary International kicked off the countdown to
its 100th anniversary celebration in 2005 with the
launch of a new Web site, http://centennial.rotary.org.
The
Rotary Centennial Web site is an online
celebration of Rotary's first hundred years and
next century of success. RI launched the site
Friday 21 February, in commemoration of the
organization's 98th anniversary the following
Sunday.
"The
Web site highlights Rotary's past achievements,
present initiatives, and future goals," said
Sherry Bondi, Web site manager at RI. "It
will be a valuable resource for Rotary clubs and
districts around the world as they begin to plan
their own centennial celebrations."
Visitors
to the site are invited to learn about Rotary's
history through an interactive timeline, share
Rotary stories with each other, and send
electronic greeting cards with historic images to
family and friends. They can also purchase Rotary
history books and other items, view a countdown
clock, and much more. "New content will be
added to the site as the centennial draws
closer," Bondi said.
The
site, which incorporates information from
previously published Web pages with new content
and colorful graphics, features four main
sections: "Activities", "A
Look Back," "Newsroom", and
"Resources" .
