WHAT IS THE ROTARY FOUNDATION'S ENDOWMENT FUND?
 
Gifts to the Endowment ensure that Rotary members will have the resources they need to design and implement sustainable projects year after year.
 
Donations to the Endowment can be made as an outright gift or a planned gift, such as a bequest in your estate.
 
As of 2022-23, Rotary's Endowment totals US$678.6 million and has further commitments of $947 million.
 
Contributions to this fund are invested for the future. Only current earnings from the investments are used to support Foundation programs.
 
This approach means that people’s generosity does good in the world in perpetuity.

President's Thoughts

 
As mentioned recently, August is Rotary "Membership Month".   This is our time of year to give feedback to the club, to talk to those around us about our club, to attract new members, and to ensure we enjoy our own member experience to the fullest.  If we are not having fun and doing stuff that excites  us - then why are we even here?
 
Attached you will find a member interest survey document.  This is also available on the district website:
 
 
I encourage everybody to read it, to answer the questions (at least in your own mind) and ideally send it back to me or any club executive so that we can gather data.  Only by sharing our interests and passions can we find common ground from which to work together on bigger issues than our own. 
 
Don't be shy or lazy.   Lets share.
 
Yours in Service.
