Wednesday 14 November 2007
PDG John Wakefield did a great job of informing us of the wonderful work carried out by the Rotary Foundation at our meeting of 31st October.
It is important to note that the objective of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is the achievement of world peace through international charitable and educational programmes.
Among the numerous projects/programmes The Foundation funds each year are:-• Scholarships for graduate, undergraduate, vocational and journalism scholars and teachers of the handicapped.
• Group Study Exchanges
• International humanitarian projects through special grants, and health, hunger and humanity grants.
• Grants for university teachers to serve in developing countries other than their own.
• Immunisation activities to protect millions of children against polio.
• Various other international programmes.PP Raymond McCluskie has prepared an informative report on the transfer meeting to Burwood Club on Monday night 5th November, for your information.
Looking forward to the presentation by PDG Ken Nicholls on Donations in Kind...
We know that our theme for the year is “Rotary Shares”, and we do. However the one that always comes to mind, and we all understand is one of the main reasons we have become Rotarians, is “Service Above Self”.
