Thank You
As we close off Foundation Month for another year I would like to say a big thank you to District 9705 Rotary Clubs and individual Rotarians for your ongoing support of our own Charity - The Rotary Foundation.
Doing good in the world is what we do, but without your donations on a regular basis we will not be able to fund the vast variety of programs and projects put up by Clubs and Districts throughout the world. Polio eradication still requires our vigilance and all the contributions from us and our partners in the past will have little impact if we don't finish the job.
With Christmas fast approaching and our concentration on the importance of good health, nutrition and an ability to give to those we love, let us also be mindful of how little it costs us to make a significant difference to others in the world who do not have what we have.
I encourage you to consider making a gift to The Rotary Foundation as part of your Christmas giving to enhance Peace and the wellbeing of others less fortunate than ourselves. If you haven't renewed your Centurion pledge already this year, now might be a good time to do it. If you haven't joined our Centurion program to make a regular donation to The Rotary Foundation, now is a good time to start.
Please have a safe and happy Christmas, celebrating our accomplishments in what has been a challenging year of drought, fires, floods, and the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Best wishes for Christmas 2020, and looking forward to a prosperous New Year in 2021.
