We are into November which is Foundation Month. A time when we connect with others in need, by supporting The Rotary Foundation (TRF). Polio Plus, Matching Grants, GSE are all
programs supported through TRF.. Past President Ron Baker heads up our TRF committee. He has been working hard to figure out the ins and outs of the Foundation. One program Every
Rotarian Every Year EREY takes the money we contribute to fund projects. If you contribute $100 per year you become a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member. By contributing $3 per week we can easily reach that level.
Foundation is the heart and soul of our reaching out, Building Communities, Bridging Continents. This Saturday I will be attending the District 5050 Foundation Dinner in Surrey. Another we can connect to our fellow Rotarians.
Our Julia connected through TRF Group Study Exchange. I am still in contact with Chris Chubb who came from UK as leader of their exchange program
Our exchange students Claudia and Rai are here because of a Foundation Program. Last week they participated at the Remembrance Day ceremonies as my escorts while I laid the wreath on your
behalf at the Port Moody event. Such shared experiences are important for long term memories.
So as we go through this month let us keep up support for our Foundation.
On another point, visioning.
We had a meeting last week and discussed some work we are working on around membership, Club Service and Community Service.
I will be meeting with Service chairs over the next week so we can look at what we can do now, from our visioning session in September, and report back to the club at the AGM and Club Assembly 8th December. Please try to make that meeting as your (the Club) vision is being discussed.
