Notas do Editor
- Rotary Fellowships began informally in 1928 when Rotarians with a shared interest in the international language Esperanto joined together. In 1947, a group of Rotarian boating enthusiasts began flying the Rotary flag from their crafts, calling themselves the International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians — which now holds the distinction of being the oldest continuing fellowship. The scope of fellowships has changed significantly over the years, but their purpose remains the same: to unite Rotarians in friendship and provide opportunities to enjoy favorite recreational activities, hobbies, sports, vocation, and most recently Rotary history and culture.
- Many fellowships also use their special interests to serve others. For example, the Fellowship of Canoeing Rotarians has organized cleanups of polluted rivers; members of the International Computer Users Fellowship of Rotarians has conducted training sessions for Rotarians and others in their community; and members of the International Fellowship of Rotarian Scuba Divers join local Rotary clubs to undertake service projects on each of their diving trips. Currently, there are more than 60 official Rotary Fellowships registered with RI. One really good example of Rotary Fellowships organized around both a recreational activity and community service is the Fellowship Cycling to Serve. Through cycling activities, this Fellowship works to promote international understanding and peace.
- Here we see just a small sampling of Rotary Fellowships: Skiing Fellowship Antique Automobiles Fellowship Yachting Fellowship
- Good day, I am Sergio Santi Rotary Club Chiavari Tigullio District 2032 Italy. I joined IYFR in 2007 founding the Italy NW Fleet with a small group of 22 enthusiastic Rotarian/Rotaractors and their Partners. I entered in the International Bridge in Birmingham during that AGM in 2009 and am actually and until San Paolo AGM, the IYFR International Commodore. I am a retired Italian Navy Officer and a Naval Aviator. We, Rotary Mariners, believe that boating with fellow Rotarians & Friends is a delightful way to share ideas, improve our seamanship, provide support for Rotary service activities, make lasting friendships & practice the ideals of Rotary.
- We are organized in 3 Areas and our Fellow Mariners come from 35 Countries. They speak 21 different languages. English is the official one. Imagine each Fleet as a huge Yacht Club that may embrace several Rotary Districts. There are some peculiar situations: the Seattle Mariners f.i. come all from the same RC, Seattle 4. We have a great respect for local/national traditions. The Fleet Bridge lead the Fleet and the Bridges’ leader is called «Commodore» as in any Yacht Club in the world. Fleets are grouped in REGIONS f.i. GB&I , New Zealand, The Philippines, East Mediterranean etc. A Region Commodore and his Staff are in charge of each Region. He is responsible to make the communications coming from the IB understandable by all of his Region Fleets and viceversa: requests, communications from his Fleets understandable by the International Bridge and by the other Region Commodores
- Is the senior and the most “populated” Area. Here the language is the main problem but having grouped the Fleets per Country and being these lead by an English speaking Region Commodore, we manage to have sufficiently understandable relationship among us all. This year we have chartered a new Fleet in England, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Israel and about to charter some others in Croatia, Malta. Possibly one in Rumania and one in the Czech Republic. The Crimea Fleet, as anybody can imagine, has been particularly taken care of; the situation is very critical at this time. Were it not for this major problem, the last one has been a fantastic year for all the Area. Regattas, meetings, events of any kind from most of the Fleets. The
- Here we have a great enrollment potential both in the North, Central and in the South but the enormous distances create problems in aggregation to a specific Fleet. We had here, in the North between Canada and the US, some 93 IMs that were pratically isolated and not following the general course. Now with the chartering in February of the World E Fleet (only one for the entire Globe), the English speaking fellow Mariners have a virtual Fleet in which they can operate and be followed. The South is going ahead beautifully and a new Squadron, the first step to a Fleet, has been created in Chile in April. We are confident that in the future also this Area will reach her potential consinstence.
- AREA 3 was struck last November by a terrible typhoon – JOLANDA - who claimed more than 7000 casualties. Destructions were enormous. IYFR immediately started a relief operation in strict coordination with the Philippines Districts Governors and IVC Jun Avecilla, providing food and first aid materials in the very first days after the tragedy and 60 fully equipped fishing boats for the Cebu Fishermen. 61.000 USD were transferred on the Phils account. This is very active Area and the Fleets organize any sort of events
- Here you can see where we are. We have a Directory that we call General Roster where all the Fellow Mariners are reported, with their addresses, telephone numbers, the boat, where the boat is etc.
- We like to enjoy and have fun but, at the same time, we like to play by the book. Here are our Rules. Note that the essential ones (5 pages only) come in 14 different languages so that every Fellow Mariner car read and comply. The others are in English only.
- See here the front page of the IYFR GENERAL RULES in Hebrew
- We like to enjoy and have fun but, and this is what we do
- enjoy
- Keep enjoying
- And sometimes it happens to win!
- This was one of our first service to our Flag-Ship, the Brigantine Italia. A desalinator for this very peculiar Ship which embarks disadvantaged young people
- All of us know what happened in the Philippines early November 2013. IYFR was there immediately. Funds allocated arrived only one week later.
- IYFR sent in less than one week all the money that could have been allocated as IYFR GRANTS for 2013-2014 Service in the 3 Areas. Our Mariners doubled the sum out of their own pockets. All was done in full respect and in accordance with the Philippine District Governor and the Area 3 IYFR Commodore and his Bridge.
- A newspaper reported that almost 6000 drowns each year. They do not know what a life jacket is.
- We collected all the (un)used life jackets from all our boats, our Yacht Club, friendly Ship Chandlers, Italian Navy Corps which, while not complying any more with the last Italian Rules, were still perfectly able to be a reliable emergency floating device. Gathered them in Chiavari, and sent them to destination in Kenya and Ivory Coast
- Not without problems with the local authorities. At the end we made it. If only we succeede to save one life… that will be the best of the recognitions for IYFR!
- Join IYFR. You will discover another way to serve.

- [Notes for Peter Ibbotson-Travel and Hosting Fellowship]
- The International Travel and Hosting Fellowship provide the means for you to meet like minded Rotarians in more than 80 countries around the world. You stay with Rotarians in their homes and share their way of life for a few days. You will usually be invited to visit their Rotary Club, meet their friends and family and share their Rotary interests. They will usually show you the Rotary Projects that they are involved with and will provide a wealth of ideas for you to take back to your Club. You see their countries as they see them – not as a tourist would. You will be shown things which, as a tourist, you would probably never see. You will share their food and customs and obtain a real insight to the way in which they live. Even if you, for whatever reason, cannot stay with your hosts – perhaps you are travelling on business and staying in a Hotel, you can still make contact with local members, meet them for a drink or a meal (they will usually invite you to their homes for a meal) or visit their Rotary club. Or you are going on a package tour and accommodation is arranged, you can still meet up with a local member. Remember, these Rotarians are your friends - they are as keen to meet you as you are to meet them. Even a brief meeting with them will enhance your holiday experience. Why not use them to obtain advice about the area before you travel
- Rosemary and I with our ITHF host Sita, our Vice President for Nepal at the International Mountain Museum in Pokhara, Nepal
- Buddhist monks in Bhaktapur, Kathmandu. We visited three Rotary clubs with Sita in Kathmandu and some of the members took us around the three cultural cities which make up Kathmandu. On the final night of our visit Sita and her family had invited members from her club for a farewell dinner on the roof terrace of her home.
- Rosemary with our ITHF hosts, Hemant and Revati Jathar with their friend Anand. While we were with Hemant and Revati we stayed in their town house in Ambarnath, in their hill house, and visited their farm.
- A student at an engineering training college for the blind. The college is funded by the local Rotary club and manufactures collapsible white sticks for the blind which are sold to provide further funds
- We were taken to visit a village dam project which was funded by the local Rotary Club. In the rainy season there is plenty of water in the local streams. But this quickly dries up when the rain stops, and the villagers are without water for about eight months of the year. By damming the river to create, a reservoir and providing a small pump, the village now has an almost year long supply
- I was taken by my host to a school which was built and is run by the local Rotary Club.
- Our host on this occasion was a Maharaja and we were invited as guests to a relatives wedding in Jodpur. Royal weddings last for about three days and have around 3000 guests. Here we see the bridegroom arriving on an elephant. During our month in India, Rosemary and I were invited to, and attended, five weddings in various cities all over India. At lesser weddings there are still around 1000 guests but the bridegroom arrived on a white horse
- Other Royal guests at the wedding
- Here I am with ITHF President Elect Medicare Hsu in Portugal. I hand over to Medicare at our AGM at this Convention.
- ITHF members enjoying a lunch break at a Port wine vineyard in the Douro Valley, Portugal, before spending a hard afternoon wine tasting. 90 ITHF members representing 10 countries took part in last year’s tour of Portugal. Tours are organised, Pre or Post every RI Convention, to provide an opportunity to meet up with other members as a group
- Relaxing at a hotel after another hard day on an ITHF tour.
- An impromptu concert where members from each country entertain the other tour members on the last night of the tour. Each country does it’s own thing providing entertainment unique to that country. Here the Brits, who were outnumbered, are assisted by the Aussies singing “Land of Hope and Glory”. We later gave them a bit of assistance with “Waltzing Matilda”
- Ladies from USA and Russia enjoying fellowship on the tour
- ITHF members relax and enjoy the gardens of another beautiful hotel in Portugal
- A typical ITHF breakfast meeting at an RI Convention. Usually 100 to 200 members attend depending upon the location of the Convention. Travel is expensive these days.
- British ITHF members enjoy a weekend get together at a hotel in UK. We try to hold these each year to promote fellowship, to reunite with old friends, and to meet new friends who have joined the fellowship recently.
- There are number of benefits to Rotary Fellowships. They offer: Opportunities for Rotarians to make lasting friendships outside of one’s own club, district and country Contribute to the advancement of world understanding and peace Serve as an incentive for attracting new members and for retaining existing members Further vocational development through acquaintance with others of the same profession. Make new friends around the world Explore new opportunities for service
- Using your MyRotary account you now have access to an array of new social tools that will enable you to converse and collaborate with other Rotarians and Rotaractors. You can use these tools to find, start or further your goals for Rotary Fellowships… You can search Rotary’s Discussion Groups where you can exchange ideas with other Rotarians and Rotaractors who share your interest. If you find that a group already exists, reach out to them. But if not, consider starting a new one!
- Rotary International looks to District Governors and District Rotary Fellowships chairs to facilitate communication and promotion of Rotary Fellowships, but that doesn’t prohibit you from helping to promote them as well. Whether it is between two Fellowships, Rotary clubs within the district, or even the broader public, there are numerous ways to help out. Promoting Fellowships is a responsibility that we can all share as a way both to grow and promote Rotary.
- Rotary International has established specific policies for forming a Rotary Fellowship. RI rigorously evaluates each prospective group before deciding whether to formally recognize it. However, each fellowship operates independently of RI, with its own rules, dues requirements, and administrative structure. Membership is open to all Rotarians, Rotaractors, and their spouses. Here we show just a few of the requirements in the application process. We encourage Rotarians interested in starting a Rotary Fellowship to work closely with their District Chair and RI staff members.
- Outside of the resources listed here, you should look into contacting: Rotary Fellowship Officers-Officers of existing fellowships can provide a wealth of advice to organizers of new groups. Many fellowships have been in operation for decades, and their leaders are knowledgeable about the best ways to promote fellowships and resolve problems. Consult the Rotary Fellowships Officer Directory for contact information. District Rotary Fellowships chairs are appointed by district governors to facilitate communication between fellowships and the Rotary clubs within the district, and to promote participation in fellowships Rotary Fellowships Committee-Rotary Fellowships Committee provides guidance and advice to the Board on all aspects of the Rotary Fellowships program, assists prospective fellowships with the application process, and makes recommendations to the Board concerning recognition of prospective fellowships. Consult the Official Directory or contact Rotary Service staff for committee contact information. Rotary Service Connections-Staff handle general inquiries about the Rotary Fellowships program and refer interested Rotarians to specific fellowships. In addition, staff members regularly contact fellowship officers with news about the program; offer advice on issues such as promotion, recruitment, and event planning; and help publicize Rotary Fellowships activities around the world
