Foundation Activities/Donations

District 9685 is very proud to be launching a program that will recognise those clubs which have been major donors to the Rotary Foundation over their lifetime.  This is designed to match the recognition programs for personal giving.  The program was really initiated by Harold who raised the concept many months ago.  This has been taken forward and the proposal put together on or behalf by Rob Byrne.  TRF has asked that it be piloted with one district before launching across all ANZ districts so quite rightly D9685 has been selected, to the delight of District Foundation chairs and DG and DGE.

   Crows Nest Rotary, which has been extremely generous over the years, has contributed to date $US96,641.18, so with a club donation of at least $US3359 (presently about $A4736) before say early June this year we would be able to include you as a Silver Major donor at the presentation at the District Changeover on the 6th July.  Please note that the giving in these figures is Club giving only and not Personal giving. 

Our Club Board has agreed to make the necessary donation and Sue will present a cheque to the Foundation during this meeting.
