What does Daniel Boone have to do with Rotary?

Daniel Boone traveled around the country a lot during his legendary

years. And our Rotarians travel around a lot, too. We travel from home or work to meetings, to local events and projects, to other Rotary meetings and to district events.

But we also "travel" to place around the world without leaving the comfort of our homes. Through Rotary Foundation, we have traveled every corner of the world, leaving a mark on water wells, community hospitals and clinics, and village schools. We'ye touched the hands of disabled, eyes to the blind, legs of the crippled, and hearts of the homeless. We've built buildings, administered vaccines, filled libraries, and supplied school desks. Though us, others have been able to physically travel for education, humanitarian efforts and building relationships.

If you've purchased a plane ticket lately, of filled your tank with gas, you know travel doesn't come cheap either. It is through continuous contributions to the Rotary Foundation that we are able to reach those corners of the world.

Make a renewed effort to contribute as you are financially able to The Rotary Foundation, especially, to the Polio Plus campaign as we are nearing the eradication of this terrible disease.

Thanks to Don Hackett District 7630 Governor 2010-2011
