Club members, Al, Nick and John will discuss the Pancake Breakfast which will occur on Saturday, August 27 as part of the Backlot Bash.
FOUNDATION MINUTE - "WHAT IS “EVERY ROTARIAN, EVERY YEAR” ALL ABOUT"?
This initiative by the Board of Trustees of The Rotary Foundation encourages “every Rotarian, every year” to:
- Participate in a Foundation program that is making a difference in the world
- Contribute to the Foundation’s Annual Fund at a sustainable amount
The Rotary Foundation even has banners for clubs where every member contributes at least US$25 to the Annual Fund with a US$100 per capita during the Rotary year.
Today nearly 1/3 of Rotarians participate in this initiative. In 2021/2022 The Rotary Foundation was able to award over 1,197 global grants for large scale sustainable projects due to the generosity of these Rotarians.
Think about what Rotary could accomplish in the world if all of our 1.2 million worldwide members each gave at least US$25 to our Foundation’s Annual Fund.
If you are a part of the “Every Rotarian, Every Year” initiative – I personally thank you for your support of The Rotary Foundation and its work.
Message From John Lavin
Club President
Last Tuesday, we received an informative presentation from Executive Director Amy Brennan on the emerging Illinois Coalition for Family Caregivers. I hope to follow up with Amy by providing some Club contacts. Please consider her requests, such as connecting her to your business’ community relations staff and any other people who can help inform family members of their contributions and value to their loved ones and the community.
Tuesday is our last Sweet Basil luncheon followed next week with Bar Louie at the Holiday Inn on Touhy. Please come to both meetings. This Tuesday is going to be a history of Skokie Valley Rotary Pancake Breakfast. See John’s e-mails providing you and your family the opportunity to help at the Sunday, August 28 event (under the tent at the Skokie Bash).
