Giving Tuesday is a global movement for charities and individuals to come together for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving. On Tuesday December 3rd, join the community of donors that support Rotarian projects around the world by making an online gift to The Rotary Foundation. Online giving is a fast, secure way to help families and communities that need it most — no wrapping paper required!
Words from from the heart 
of Aart, proud Summerland Rotarian:
of Aart, proud Summerland Rotarian: The Rotary Foundation and Rotary members are the artery of Rotary. The mission of the Rotary Foundation (of Rotary International) is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
The foundation has grown since start-up in 1917 from virtually nothing to a $1B support system to date. The funding comes from Rotarians like you and me, and friends of the foundation who share its vision. To put that in perspective … Rotary has some 33,000 clubs in over 200 countries with 1.2 million members that form a global network to build the Rotary Foundation and volunteer their time and talents to serve their communities and the world.
So when you donate, you are helping all Rotary members, including yourself, make a difference in the lives of millions of people around the world, at home and abroad.
