To help celebrate the 100th Birthday of the Rotary Foundation, the first of two District 5060 Million Dollar Dinners was held in Wenatchee, WA Friday night, April 7. The event was a huge success well-attended by many Rotary locals & VIPs. Keynote speaker Michael McGovern spoke powerfully about the history & meaning of the Rotary Foundation, and especially about PolioPlus.
Saturday, April 8 was the second of two Million Dollar Dinners held within our District here in Kelowna at the Delta Grand featuring guest speaker Wilf Wilkinson from Trenton, Ontario. The fund-raising goals were exceeded: $1,571,684.03! So collectively, over $1.5 million (USD) was raised for The Rotary Foundation.
