By: Dave Underhill,
District Rotary Foundation Chair,
 
 
Greetings from your Rotary Foundation team at District 7780!
 
Foundation Fun Fact: 33 of our 41 clubs took part in a district or global grant during 2020-2021, that’s over 75%!
 
First, a quick look in the rearview mirror: THANK YOU for supporting the 2020-2021 annual fund with your energy and dollars.  The numbers are still coming in, but it’s clear that our district exceeded its goals and continues to be a leader in building the capacity of OUR foundation.
We are already a month into the new year.  Don’t miss Governor Dick’s presentation when he comes to your club, he’s sharing news and some tools to advance Rotary Direct and member participation in all parts of our Foundation.
 
Be sure to read the important Polio update from Ann Lee Hussey elsewhere in this newsletter.
 
As you are reading this, our District Grant committee is finalizing “round two” of grant applications and we look forward to announcing the final list of Club grants in the next week or so.
