The Rotary District 6630 Foundation Gala, held on November 16 at La Vera Party Center in Willoughby, Ohio, was a remarkable event that brought together Rotarians from various clubs, including several attendees from the Geauga West Rotary Club. This special night was not just a celebration, but also a testament to the enduring legacy and impact of the Rotary Foundation.

As the Geauga West Rotary Club embraces November's Rotary Foundation Month, we take a moment to recognize the extraordinary efforts and contributions made through The Rotary Foundation. Known globally for its exceptional management and effectiveness, the Foundation boasts 12 consecutive four-star ratings from Charity Navigator and an A-plus rating from CharityWatch.

Throughout its history, The Rotary Foundation has been a force for global good, beginning with a single donation of $26.50 in 1917. The Foundation has empowered Rotarians to tackle challenges like poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition with projects that have a sustainable impact. These initiatives are a testament to the guiding principles upheld for over a century, manifesting in local and global actions towards peace, disease prevention, clean water, maternal health, education, and economic development.

On November 1, 2023, the Geauga West Rotary Club was honored to host Ms. Elizabeth Bolander, the Executive Director of Fairmount Center for the Arts. Nestled in the heart of western Geauga County, Fairmount Center for the Arts stands as a beacon of cultural enrichment, offering a wealth of multidisciplinary artistic programs. The Center’s offerings span dance, fitness, music, theatre, and visual arts classes, embracing participants of all ages and diverse interests.

We are excited to share a wonderful moment from our club's journey—a special visit from District Governor Julie Brandle. On October 18, 2023, our club had the distinct honor of hosting District Governor Brandle, and it was an event filled with inspiration and camaraderie.
