Thank you to all of those that have already given this year to support the life-changing projects that we have accomplished this year from District 6540. Your gifts have built playgrounds for youth through Habitat for Humanity and local partnerships, provided food and supplies for those in need, safety equipment for local first responders and educational resources for schools and libraries. Our Global Grants have provided Oxygen plants for hospitals, Dialysis equipment and a Mobile Mammography unit. We have saved lives by providing pediatric cardiac surgeries so that children in India live past the age of 5. Students are staying in school and leading healthier lives through water and hygiene projects in India and Mexico. Our TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) has truly changed and saved lives this year. With your gifts this year to Annual Fund – Share, we can do the same in 3 years!
The Rotary International Foundation started in the early 1900s with a contribution of $26.50 from each of the Rotary members at that time. In order to keep this tradition going I am suggesting that we contribute $60.00 (adjusted for inflation) to either the Annual Fund or to Polio Plus. This would not only support the programs of the international organization but also those of the district and potentially our own club.
