  The Rotary Foundation needs you

  Luis Vicente Giay 

  August 2006

  Friends of the Foundation: 

  During the 2006 RI Convention in Malmö-Copenhagen, The Rotary 
  Foundation Trustees announced a US$120 million Annual Programs Fund 
  goal for 2006-07, based on projected estimates from more than 12,000 
  clubs. The Foundation will do its utmost to reach this goal. Knowing 
  that leadership by example is the most effective incentive, at the 
  beginning of this Rotary year all of the trustees affirmed their 
  personal commitment by each contributing between $100 and $10,000 to 
  the Foundation. 

  Is $120 million an overly ambitious goal? No, because it's in line 
  with the normal growth rate that we have seen during the last few 
  years. Moreover, in reaching it, we will be very near to making 
  Every Rotarian, Every Year a reality. 

  Increasingly, every day, The Rotary Foundation needs Rotarians. It 
  needs you! The world's problems are on the rise, and the number of 
  projects proportionately increases. The demands that will come our 
  way will pose greater challenges. An obvious example is the 
  PolioPlus Partners program, which covers a portion of the social 
  mobilization expenses associated with the National Immunization Days 
  held in those countries in which it is still necessary to vaccinate 
  children against polio. Here is where districts can really help by 
  donating a part of their District Designated Fund, and clubs can 
  choose among their options and participate in funding the expenses 
  essential to the success of the program. It's estimated that there 
  will be a shortfall this year of about $3 million, so by supporting 
  PolioPlus Partners, we make it possible for Rotarian and non-
  Rotarian volunteers to help. 

  Our goals for 2006-07 are important and realistic. On behalf of The 
  Rotary Foundation Trustees, I urge you to help through your 
  Foundation contributions. Please continue to increase your level of 
  support to the Foundation. It needs each one of you to take action 
  so that its good works may reach every corner of the globe. Many are 
  waiting for us to reach out. 

  Cordially, 

  Luis Vicente Giay 

  The Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair, 2006-07
