Mick McKinley, District Foundation Chairperson talked to us “Doing Good in the World” through the Rotary Foundation. The mission of the Rotary Foundation helps Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.
The Rotary Foundation has three funds that we as Rotarians can make contributions to. These are: Annual Fund – EREY, Polio Plus – Eradicating Polio, and Endowment Fund – Sustaining the Foundation.
When you give to Annual Fund – SHARE, The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives close to home and around the world.
Have you ever wondered why LERC is the way it is? I’d like to suggest that it is important, as a member of LERC to understand the way our club is and why it is that way. Can we understand what makes it tick so we can make it better? As we think logically and consistently about who we are, we are able to determine “cause and effect” relationships between what we do and the results of what we do. While examining those relationships we will deduce some basic principles which we can use to make our club successful and meaningful.
Thanks go to the following for "Happy Dollars" on February 22: Duane Tappe, Betty Ourecky, Shari McCright, Minnie Stephens, Barry Stelk, Tom Mortimer, Darrel Huenergardt, Dave Brolhorst, Nathan Rink, Gordon Bair, Lyle Schoen, Al Burdick and Azariah Lawal.
