PROGRAM: DR. MITCH DALVIN on ROTARY FOUNDATION
Mitch wanted all Rotarians to know that the dollars you donate to the foundation go entirely to doing good work. That's 100% of all donations. 50% goes to help world problems and 50% to the local district.
What does Rotary do with the money? Well, for instance, the Polio Plus Campaign. Thanks to the World Health Organization and Rotary International Polio is almost extinct. There was only one reported case in India in 2006.
Also you have probably heard or read about "shelter boxes". Rotarians are trained to set this up for use where primary shelter has been demolished for instance, Louisiana. Rotary clubs in the area send out the work and the boxes and Rotarians are sent into the depressed areas.
Rotary would like every Rotarian to donate $100 per year or whatever you can afford to the foundation. Mitch provided a fax sheet for us to send in our information.
In our club, every year 10 members give $100 to award one of our fellow Rotarians with a Paul Harris.
Thanks Mitch for making us all aware of the importance of the Foundation.
