When you are raising funds this year for The Rotary Foundation Walk and for all of the funds of The Rotary Foundation, please try to give just a "Little more for Bill" in memory of Past District Governor Bill Patchett, who did so much to raise funds for The Rotary Foundation. Our goal from District 7070 for  2019-20 is $1,000,000.00 USD -  "A Mill for Bill" . Thank you. 

Past 7070 District Governor and Past 7070 District Foundation Chair Bill Patchett was well known​ to many of our district Rotarians. When Bill took on the role of Foundation Chair in our District he worked tirelessly to raise our contribution levels to the Rotary Foundation’s Annual Fund, the Polio Plus campaign and to our Endowment (Permanent) Fund. Under his leadership our contributions grew from $420,000 per year to over $800,000 per year. This Rotary year, lets strive for $1,000,000 A Mill For Bill.

 

 

A Mill for Bill!!

How will we reach our goal to raise $1,000,000 USD in this Rotary year?
