DISTRICT GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE Dear Fellow Rotarians, Our Rotary year continues to zip by rapidly and our club visits are keeping apace. Carla and I are winding down a very successful visit to St. Martin, Saint Maarten, Anguilla and St. Barts, culminating in an enjoyable Rotary gala on the last night of October (October 31). Prior to this, we attended the Zone 33/34 Institute in San Destin Florida, enjoyed a wonderful meeting with the eClub of the Caribbean and completed our visit to Haiti. We have now been to sixty of our eighty four clubs and are looking forward to meeting with the remaining clubs over the next few weeks. We continue to be heartened by how warmly we are welcomed by Rotarians everywhere. Our belief that Rotarians everywhere are all exceptionally wonderful people is constantly confirmed and we are making lifelong friends. Equally as exhilarating has been the overwhelming pride we have felt as we visit the many projects that the local clubs do. We have also had the great opportunity to meet many Rotaractors and Interactors as well as some Earlyactors. We have proudly inducted several new Rotarians and Paul Harris Fellows. What a ride so far!! Our only disappointment has been that the eClub of the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean lost its charter for lack of activity. “The Rotary Foundation transforms our gifts into projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.” This month, we celebrate the Rotary Foundation. The Foundation is the engine that manages the money we give to Rotary and helps to fund many of the projects that we do across our District and the world. Over the last few years, our District has benefitted tremendously from the Foundation as we have received grant funding of five dollars for every dollar we have contributed. That alone should be motivation for us to dig even deeper into our pockets and support the work of Rotary. There is so much work that we do and still lots more to be done. “The Rotary Foundation transforms our gifts into projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. As the charitable arm of Rotary, it taps into a global network of Rotarians who invest their time, money, and expertise into our priorities, such as eradicating polio and promoting peace. Foundation Grants empower Rotarians to approach challenges such as poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition with sustainable solutions that leave a lasting impact.” There is good reason to make The Rotary Foundation, our “Charity of Choice”. The Rotary Foundation was started back in 1917 with less than $27.00 and today the fund has grown to over a billion dollars. The Foundation boasts great stewardship, accountability and transparency and so our contributions are maximized. If you are not yet a supporter of the Rotary Foundation, I urge you consider making a contribution. Your investment would help to make our communities better places to live and you would have made a step from Success to Significance as you demonstrate what it means to Be a Gift to the World. #unleashtheawesome7020 <strong>Nov</strong>ember 1st, <strong>2015</strong> | 5
