Summary of Weekly Meeting
Date: Monday 7th November 2005
November is Foundation Month and therefore there will be some Rotary Foundation Thoughts this month…
Thought of the Week:
This week’s Rotary Foundation Thought is about participating in Foundation programs in our community and across the globe. We make our annual contributions to The Rotary Foundation knowing that 50 percent of that gift will come right back to our district in three years to be used for humanitarian and educational programs chosen by us. This includes Ambassadorial Scholars, Matching Grants, and District Simplified Grants that may be used for projects in our local community.
The other 50 percent also benefits our district indirectly, because it is used to fund a variety of programs in which we can participate. The Rotary Foundation is our Foundation. It is critical that we take ownership of it and do what we can to change and save lives, in our community and across the globe.
