Thank You to all Rotarians who have given to The Rotary Foundation’s Annual Fund and/or PolioPlus during this 2017-18 Rotary year. Your Annual Fund gifts provide funds for District Designated Funding (DDF) for local and international grants and your PolioPlus gifts are immediately used in the 2:1 match provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for polio eradication. You have been part of an international team that is “Making a Difference” in the lives of many people!
District 5450 has had a good fundraising year; however, some clubs and individuals have yet to forward their contributions. Please complete your year-end gift as soon as possible. Doing so will result in faster processing and better customer service as well as helping you avoid any last-minute complications.
