This month marks the culmination of our yearlong celebration of Rotary Foundation's 100th Anniversary! Launched in Atlanta at the RI Convention of 1917, the Foundation has made possible our efforts as Rotarians to serve communities and causes both locally and globally.
Celebrate with us in Atlanta AND celebrate in your own clubs! Share our story with videos such as (my personal favorite): A CENTURY OF DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD (under 5 minutes); WE'RE ROTARY - NO LIMITS (1 minute); YOU ARE CHAMPIONS (1.5 minutes); or a great polio "booster shot:" OGBE (1 minute). Find them and many others from which to choose YOUR favorites at video.rotary.org/.
As I've said throughout this year of celebration, though, every success presents new challenges. We hope to inspire those who can give to give, and those who can volunteer to volunteer, so that together our SECOND century of service is twice as good as the FIRST!
Happy Anniversary, Rotarians!
FOUNDATION 100th ANNIVERSARY CHALLENGE
If every club and satellite can give at least $100 to the Rotary Foundation THIS MONTH, we'll have $5,000 more than we had a month ago! That money, whether earmarked for the Annual Fund or "End Polio Now," will save lives, promote peace and "Serve Humanity!" Make the motion, send the check!
