Yours in Rotary,

Rotary Foundation- Presentation by President Peter Shepheard
President Peter Shepheard (of Altona Rotary Club) has been in Rotary for 15 years, and is serving as President for the 4th time! He is a strong supporter of the Rotary Foundation, including being a member of the Paul Harris Society (requiring an annual donation of $US 1,000) as well has making a bequest.
Peter summarised some key aspects of the Rotary Foundation:
  • All donations are used for their intended purpose. Admin costs are covered by interest for 3 years before the funds are used.
  • The Rotary Foundation covers Rotary's 6 areas of Service, but the largest project has been "Polio Plus", which is close to eradicating Polio from the World. 
  • Some of the funds raised for the Foundation can be used in Australia- eg. for helping disadvantaged year 11 & 12 students to complete their education.
Altona City RC provided Peter with a cheque for our annual contribution of US$100/member (A$2900).
