Today was The Rotary Foundation Day for our Club. Past District Governor Jayne Hulbert, the District 5150 Foundation Chair, explained how our donations work for good in the world through Global Grants and in our own community, with 50% of the funds we donate coming back to us for local projects. We were honored to have District Governor Mary Bates, as well as Past District Governors Jeri Fujimoto and Riki Intner in attendance.
Paul Harris Awards were presented to Rotarians Kristine Baltasar and Shari Teresi, Paul Harris +1 Award to Joe Teresi, Paul Harris +2 Award to Marilou Edwards, Paul Harris +3 to Janet McAuley, and Paul Harris +8 to Janet Fogarty in recognition of their ongoing generosity to The Rotary Foundation.
Shirley Kwok was presented with her 6th level White Hat Concha, in recognition of Shirley's commitment to sharing her treasure to help make our world a better place.
PDG Jeri Fujimoto honored Janet and William Fogarty as Major Donors and White Hat Society Members, noting that their contribution was from Janet's earnings helping Jeri's mother with her real estate needs as her attorney, as a way of honoring Jeri's mother.
