TRANSCRIPT
October 3, 2011 Your Rotary International Foundation
Contribution at Work
(From top left, Floyd Lancia Dr Jonathan Walker, and Amber Recker from the Anthony Wayne Club)
“A little bit of resources can have an exponential return.” With those words, Dr. Jonathan Walker, past district governor Floyd Lancia, and Anthony Wayne Rotarian Amber Recker shared the impact of Rotary International’s work to establish and support the only free eye care clinic in Nicaragua, the second poorest country in Central America. Rotary International Foundation provided a matching grant to create this service, which now looks to acquire diagnostic equipment doctors can take out from the clinic to reach people in need. While contributing to our club’s foundation is part of our dues obligations, contributions to the Rotary International Foundation truly “fuels the work of Rotary.” More about Rotary’s international and local foundations can be found in the pages of this week’s Spin.

Foundation Giving Report --- Rotary Year 2010-11 (from Mike Crabill, District Governor)
Rotarians of District 6540 can feel especially proud of their efforts to support the Annual Programs fund of the Rotary Foundation. Last year marked another very successful year in giving to the Rotary Foundation. At the beginning of the year D6540 clubs had set a goal of raising almost $239,000. They ended the year beating that goal by 138% and finished with $330,370 raised for the Foundation. Our per capita average for the entire District was $120.38. This marks the fourth year in a row that our members have given over $300,000 to the Foundation. Our top club in per capita giving was Kentland which averaged $571 per member. Coming in second and third were Elkhart Morning ($402) and Demotte- Kankakee ($393). All in all, 27 of our 55 clubs finished the year averaging over $100 per member. It also marked the 5th year in a row of every club contributing to the Foundation. We also raised $71,300 in our End Polio Now Gates Foundation Challenge (see next article) and had $97,185 contributed to the Permanent Fund of the Foundation. When adding these figures to our Annual Programs Fund, total giving to the Foundation in 2010- 11 stood at $498,855. To all Rotarians a heartfelt thanks for your generosity and support of the good works of the Foundation.
