First and foremost, thank you to Bill Pollard for inviting me to share with District 7600's 2009-10 Club Rotary Foundation Awards. There are 34,103 Clubs and 530 Districts worldwide.Congratulations to all the clubs for their commitment to The Rotary Foundation.
Twenty Three clubs have given the suggested $2000 annual donation to Polio Plus and were given a Certificate of appreciation for their financial support of Rotary's US$200 Million Challenge.
1113 Clubs worldwide obtained the goal of 100% EREY(every Rotarian Every Year). Qualification: Every member giving something to the Annual Program Fund with the club per capita of $100. Fourteen Clubs in 7600 reached this goal they are:Bon Air, Churchland, Goochland, Hampton Roads, Hanover, Innsbrook, James City County, Newport News, Northside Norfolk, Powhatan County, Prince George County, Princess Anne at Towne Center, The Historic Triangle and Virginia Peninsula.

Ken Morgan, past RI Director was the featured speaker and we all enjoyed his foundation update, unfortunately wife Winnie was unable to join him this evening. Jackie McGuire from The Rotary Foundation was another honored guest and the district appreciates her traveling the long distance to attend the celebratory success of all the clubs. I enjoyed sharing a table with Ken Franz, Chuck & Rebecca Arnason, Jerry Fields and Bill & Gloria Billings. A footnote: Green beans again, I think at almost every lunch and dinner meeting green beans have been an option; sautéed, steamed, in soups and yes even fried. Meal $35 |
