Ian Watson showed us a film clip explaining the Rotary Foundation. Funding is used to fight disease
There are 3 buckets that the money goes into.
 
1.Polio Plus.        2. Annual Fund.          3. Endowment Fund
  1. Money in here can only be used for Polio Plus and has it’s own separate investment policy. The money is used quickly, as it comes in, to support polio eradication programs .
  2. Clubs encourage members to donate here – every member, every year.
It raises 110 – 130M per year. This accumulates and after each 3 year period the money is available for clubs to apply for, to fund projects. All donations are used for projects and only the interest is used to cover expenses incurred in the administration of the fund.
  1. This comprises gifts or endowments through member’s wills. Gifts are kept in perpetuity and the interest is used to fund project

Paul Harris wrote: "Each Rotarian is a connecting link between the idealism of Rotary and their trade or profession". Vocational Service may be the least understood of the Rotary Avenues of Service, and yet it is the very foundation of Rotary itself. The introductory statement and three of the four objectives of Rotary relate to Vocational Service, underlining its importance to the philosophy and culture of Rotary.
 
Those objectives are:
* To encourage and foster high ethical standards in business and professions, to recognise the worthiness of all useful occupations, to dignify the Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
* To apply the ideal of service in personal, business and community life.
* To advance international understanding and goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of businessmen and professional men and women united in the ideal of service.

LAUGHTER, THE BEST MEDICINE

Some memorable Donald Trump quotes to remember him by:
 

"It's freezing and snowing in New York, we need global warming"

Trump likes to tweet about the weather and global warming. Apparently we need global warming!​

​

​"she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her" - USA Today

​It is a shame that Ivanka is Trump's daughter, otherwise he could date her.

​

​"I look very much forward to showing my financials. Because they are huge" - TIME

​Huge financials? Unsure what this means exactly but Trumps financials are huge! I am guessing over 1000 pages or even more.

​

​"Why are we having all these people from sh**hole countries come here?" - Washington Post

​There is nothing worse than having people from sh**hole countries come to visit. Unsure what constitutes a sh**hole country but Trump sure isn't a fan of them.

​

​Trump's thoughts on using a breast pump for breastfeeding "disgusting" - Mercury News

​Well, it isn't exactly sexy but pretty sure that feeding your baby is far from "disgusting"?

​

​“If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?” - CBS

​Apparently you have to have the Karma Sutra down pat before you can do a good job at being president of the USA. You learn something new every day.

​

​"I think apologizing's a great thing, but you have to be wrong. I will absolutely apologize sometime, hopefully in the distant future, if I'm ever wrong" - CBS

​Trump hasn't been wrong yet, but he will let us all know if he is. What a champ.
