Dear Fellow Rotarians,
There is no better time than now, to ask all Rotarians to think about supporting our Rotary Foundation. You will be making a difference in so many ways throughout the world. Rotarians do make the world a better place. Has your Rotary Club committed, again this Rotary Year, to donating at least $20.00 PER Rotarian to PolioPlus? Has your Club sent in your objectives to Past District Governor Ted Morrison, for the 2017-18 Rotary Year yet? I sure hope that your Rotary Club has set your goal for contributing at least $ 100.00 US for each member of your club for Annual Giving to the Annual Programs Fund of the Rotary Foundation. .....
Has your Rotary Club committed, again this Rotary Year, to donating at least $20.00 PER Rotarian to PolioPlus? Your one dollar becomes 3 Again, this Rotary Year, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match our contributions on a 2 for 1 basis. Has everyone in your Club, this Rotary Year, made that same commitment to personally donate $20.00 for the eradication of Polio? And we sure would like every Rotarian in District 7070 to contribute in 2017-18. Yes, we are very close! You are making a difference !
Has your Club sent in your objectives to me, for the 2017-18 Rotary Year yet? I sure hope that your Rotary Club has set your goal for contributing at least $ 100.00 US for each member of your club for Annual Giving to the Annual Programs Fund of the Rotary Foundation. I hope all District 7070 Clubs that have already made that commitment to the Rotary Foundation and I hope that all of you will keep up the good work to reach your goal. This is where we get our money for Grants. Last year, we did have 100% in commitments met. Has your Club made plans to make that donation yet? Are your goals and plans in Rotary Club Central?
If we want to reach our goal for this year and next, we would like to see $ 100.00 US from every member, in every Rotary Club. This is our commitment to the Every Rotarian Every Year Campaign of the Rotary Foundation - EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year).
Our Rotary Foundation provides the money for our Grants Program. The Grants can be used for both local and international projects. It is interesting to note that more of you are applying for Grants. This is most encouraging. On the other hand, these applications require us to raise more money for Foundation. Please encourage your Treasurer to send in your commitment. I would also encourage the Assistant District Governors to check on their clubs and their progress.
Are there any prospective Major Donors in the District? Please let us know if you or someone you know wishes to take this next step to support Our Rotary Foundation.
.Many thanks to all of you for your support
