DG Diana's November message
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
We give our time, now it is time to give.
This past year, we have seen first-hand the power of The Rotary Foundation within our District. The earthquake in Haiti shocked the world and the Rotary world responded by sending funds to The Rotary Foundation. Approximately $2 million dollars were given by Rotarians and other donors from across the globe, knowing that The Rotary Foundation would use it wisely, and would provide good stewardship. Our Foundation rates as one of the highest in the world for management of its resources
There are only a handful of Rotary Districts who are fortunate enough to be the recipients of as much funding for their projects as District 7020.
Our donations each year to our Foundation represent only a fraction of what we receive. The Foundation Month of November is a perfect time for all of us to say “Thank You” to our generous donors and there is no better way to do this than to make our own donation – no matter how small – to show that we are grateful for all that we are able to do within our District.
We fulfil our theme, this year and every year, only because of The Rotary Foundation. It is the vehicle which enables us, through its grants programs, to continue Building Communities and Bridging Continents.
I hope each of us will play a part in making our clubs and our Foundation Bigger, Better and Bolder during this Foundation Month.
Yours In Rotary service to the District and Clubs of 7020
