Club Exceeds Goal for the Rotary Foundation

At the start of the Rotary year, President Randy Ford set a goal of $100 per capita giving or approximately $20,000 in contributions to The Rotary Foundation (TRF).  On June 21, that goal was surpassed. To date, Club members have contributed $21,058 to TRF  for an average of $104 per member.  This goal would not have been accomplished without the commitment of President Randy Ford and the Board of Directors to the objects of Rotary and service above self.

 

Our program on Water for Haiti demonstrates the return on investment to TRF.  In 2011, the Club leveraged $5,000 to purchase a $20,000 mobile drilling rig.  The majority of the funds for that drilling rig came from TRF grants.  Since 2011, that drilling rig has drilled hundreds of wells around Haiti, forever changing the culture and future of Haitian communities.  This project changed the lives of thousands of men, women and children, that we will never meet.  That project and other projects would not be possible without our members supporting The Rotary Foundation.  A special thank you is owed to all of our sustaining members, Paul Harris Fellows and multiple-Paul Harris Fellows.  Thank you!
