District Rotary Foundation Chair - Mick McKinley
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.
