Dr. Jay Eastman of the Rochester Rotary Club gave a very informative presentation on the Rotary Foundation, it funding sources and its purposes.  He explained the importance of contributing annually to the Every Rotarian Every Year (EREY) portion of the Annual Fund because that Rotary Foundation fund provides money for the World Fund and District Designated Fund and they are the 2 funds from which we and other Clubs can continue to receive funding for worthwhile projects locally, regionally and internationally.  Please see the next section of this newsletter for details and how to contribute to EREY - you can do so anytime during the Rotary year of July 1 to June 30.  In addition Jay suggested contributions to the Polio Plus and Permanent Funds and also expained recognitions given to those who contribute.  Thank you, Jay, for your very interesting presentation on this vital but sometimes little understood subject.
