Dear Rotarians,Here is some great information about our Rotary Foundation. I’m very sure our DG will be addressing this, so, after reading this article, you can show him how smart you all are.

Things every Rotarian should know about its Foundation

Rotary Foundation Month in November is an ideal time for all Rotary leaders to remind their clubs of a simple but important fact: Everything that The Rotary Foundation achieves — from paying for polio vaccines to teaching children to read — is possible because of the time and contributions of Rotarians and friends of Rotary.

“When Arch Klumph in 1917 put forward the idea of an endowment fund to do good in the world, he could not have imagined what our Rotary Foundation would become,” says Trustee Chair William B. Boyd. Highlight these points during your next meeting to get your club involved:

The Foundation is working on our primary goal. Rotary’s top priority is to eradicate polio. Through PolioPlus, The Rotary Foundation has led a global effort to rid the world of this crippling disease. To date, Rotary has contributed more than US$1 billion toward that goal. Rotary’s US$200 Million Challenge is the Foundation’s response to the $355 million in challenge grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to achieve a polio-free world.

The Foundation changes lives. Through the resources and programs of The Rotary Foundation, Rotarians carry out far-reaching projects based on Rotary’s areas of focus. Communities have access to safe water and health care, and benefit from the work of Rotary Peace Fellows because of the Foundation. Learn more about what your gift can do.

You make it possible. The Foundation is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and others who share our vision of a better world. And because of the Foundation’s impact — and the close monitoring of projects — giving to The Rotary Foundation is a financially sound decision. “Our Rotary Foundation tells the world that we care,” says Boyd. “Be proud of our Foundation and the wonders that we achieve through it.”

My Apologies and Some Happy News:I’m tired. And, I’m late getting this newsletter to you, because I’ve just returned from Los Angeles where Chuck and I helped daughter, Dahni, pack and deliver her belongings to storage. Storage is where she will find her stuff when she returns in about eight months. EIGHT MONTHS! She’s going to have the adventure of a lifetime! She’s doing what she loves best — singing and performing — and getting paid REALLY WELL. She will also SEE THE WORLD, as she is going to be “cruising” while she’s performing on a luxury cruise line, The SilverSea - her ship is the “Silver Cloud”. I’m going to really miss the kid but she is going to have an amazing adventure! —

The winery is located at the corner of N Butte Road and Ingraham Road and is open for tastings by appointment only. They sell their wines directly from the winery as well at as New Earth Market.
