The Rochester Risers Rotary Club is thrilled to announce that Don Supalla has reached Major Donor status with Rotary International. A Member since 1992, Don exemplifies Service Above Self, sharing his time and talents as Past District Officer, Past President (twice) and in various Director and leadership positions with the Risers over the past 34 years. Don is a Paul Harris Fellow, a Sustaining Member, a Major Donor and an example and inspiration to each of us. Thank you Don for your exceptional leadership!
When asked what motivates him to support Rotary and the Rotary Foundation:
"For me, the two things that sets Rotary apart from other service clubs is its "Service Above Self" motto and "People of Action" philosophy. I was looking for a service club that valued my time, talent and treasure. The Risers provide a nice variety and ample opportunities to put philanthropy into action...the Risers do that! Knowing that the RI Foundation has a longstanding Four-Star Charity rating provides assurance that our contributions are invested effectively, managed efficiently and are making a local and global impact."
What Don enjoys most about the Rochester Risers Rotary Club:
"Rochester Riser Rotary Club members truly embrace the tenants of the Four-Way Test and do so while having fun. Our club is a wonderful mix of professionals, supportive of one another, and with the desire and determination to make Rochester and the world a better place for all. I'm proud to be a member of a growing club, a community service organization that demonstrates that actions do make a difference and whose efforts are annually rewarded with District service awards."
As for the future of the Rochester Risers Rotary Club:
"My wish for the future of our club mirrors the wish for Rotary International...a focus on empowering young leaders, diversity and inclusion, and local and global impact. And, by collaborating and partnering with The Rotary Club of Rochester and the Greater Rochester Rotary Club, together we can continue to make Rochester an even better place to live, work, learn and play."
