Orientation sessions for new members were led by PDG Johnny, PDG E.H. “Alex” Alexander, DGE Wilson Ray and me. Many thanks go to PDG Johnny Robertson for organizing and leading the session and to Dave and Magda Baggett for enlisting the new members and their sponsors.

Rotary Foundation Thought of the Week

Brought to you each week by PDG Bevin Wall, District Rotary Foundation Chair; and reproduced courtesy of www.rotary.org

This week’s Rotary Foundation Thought is about why there continues to be growing support among Rotarians for The Annual Programs Fund.

I’m sure that you share my pride in the wonderful programs of our Foundation, such as
PolioPlus, Group Study Exchange and Matching Grants. Did you know that:

1. Your gift is wisely invested, so the full amount is directed to support the programs of your Rotary Foundation. Only a portion of the investment earnings pays for administration.
2. After a three-year investment cycle, half of your contribution comes back to our district to be spent on programs identified by Rotarians in our community, and a portion can be spent locally.
3. For those who live in countries with favorable charitable tax laws, sending in your gift before December 30th will ensure you receive a tax receipt for the current year and qualify you for year-end tax benefits.
4. Most important, our continuing support of The Rotary Foundation and our continuing involvement in the Foundation’s programs is an investment in our children’s future by making the world a safer and healthier place.

For more information on giving or program participation, contact PDG Bevin Wall District 7730 Rotary Foundation Chair at Bevin@RLI33.org.

Lead the Way!
