ROTARY MOMENT
PDG Ted Morrison outlined a campaign the District is having to honour and pay thanks to PDG Bill Patchett . Bill raised our level of giving to the Rotary Foundation and to polio eradication. He was responsible for raising our District to the number 1 District in Canada and in the top three in Canada for giving to the Foundation. This gives our District more funds with which we can give clubs as GRANTS to do projects.
In this campaign Rotarians are asked to give what they normally give to TRF and Polio and then” GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FOR BILL” Also this is the year to become a major donor or Arch Klumph society or a Paul Harris Society member. Clubs are asked to consider giving a donation from their club Foundation and to consider having an even where the proceeds go to the TRF. Bill Patchett deserves this tribute we should all get behind this campaign.
