My Fellow Rotarians,

The RADAR139 initiative was created with the encouragement of Past District Governor Bill Patchett, who wanted every club in the District to have the opportunity “to get on the RADAR” and to help alleviate the massive suffering caused by HIV/AIDS.  In 2006, $139 represented the approximate cost to save the life of an HIV+ mother and her baby for one year. Each new Rotary year, every club in District 7070 is asked to contribute a minimum of $139 to support an HIV/AIDS-related project chosen by the members of RADAR – Rotary Action for the Development of AIDS Responses – our District 7070 AIDS committee. Donations of $139 or more from your Rotary Club and all of the Rotary Clubs across the District bring hope, health and dignity to so many each year.  Has your Club donated $139 this Rotary year? Here's how......

 

Since 2006, the RADAR139 initiative has supported the work of such organizations as Dignitas International, Mother to Mothers, the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Kids for Cotlands (an orphanage in Capetown, South Africa), and last year (2016-17) to Morgan Weinberg's "LITTLE FOOTPRINTS...BIG STEPS orphanage in Haiti.

Donations of $139 or more from your Rotary Club and all of the Rotary Clubs across the District bring hope, health, and dignity to so many each year.

To donate to RADAR 139 Make your cheque payable to:  Rotary District 7070 and MEMO it to RADAR139. Please mail to District Treasurer Devon Biddle at 393 Hillcroft Str. Oshawa On L1G 2M4

Thank you so much
