President's Message, November 3, 2026

Hi All,

November is Rotary Foundation Month, and at our next meeting on Tuesday, November 10th we will hear from Doug Higgins and Mike Mudd to talk about Rotary Foundation. Rotary Foundation Month is a time to celebrate how The Rotary Foundation turns our generosity into meaningful change around the world.

Founded in 1917 with an initial contribution of just $26.50, The Rotary Foundation has grown into a powerful force for good, supporting projects that fight disease, provide clean water, improve education, protect the environment, and promote peace. One of its most remarkable achievements is Rotary's leadership in the global effort to eradicate polio. Through the Foundation, Rotary members also support local community projects and international grants that improve lives and create lasting change.

So, what can we do as Rotarians?

 Give: Consider contributing to The Rotary Foundation's Annual Fund or PolioPlus.

 Share: Tell others about the incredible work Rotary accomplishes through Foundation-supported projects.

 Participate: Look for opportunities to support local and international service projectsthrough our club.

Every contribution, large or small, helps Rotary turn compassion into action. As Rotarians, we know that Service Above Self is more than a motto- it is a commitment to making the world a better place. During Rotary Foundation Month, let's celebrate what we've accomplished together and consider how we can do even more.

And don’t forget we have our First Tuesday Social tonight at Old Blind Dog, Milton for some fun trivia hosted by Steve Cory and Andy West!

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
