$5 for Rotary Foundation
Our District Governor, Grant Hocking, is aiming to increase support for the Rotary Foundation by asking every Rotarian in the District to donate $5 this year. Some members are regular donors to the Foundation (thank you-- you know who you are!), but most do not donate. To facilitate donations, the Board has decided to add an optional $10 donation to the annual subscription. Please consider donating. The Foundation is a wonderful cause. It would be great if we could tell Grant when he visits our club in October that we have exceeded his target and averaged more than $5 per member.

Rotarians worldwide are inspired by the Rotary theme of “Service Above Self” and are guided by reference to ‘The Four-Way Test’. In particular, ‘The Four-Way Test’ challenges Rotarians, in everything they do, to ask of themselves:
“Of the things we think say or do:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
