I am happy to report that we are making significant progress with our “First Class Initiative” – asking all 2013-14 zone, district and club leaders to consider a personal contribution to the Foundation before the 2013 International Convention.
As you can see, the 2013-14 district governors, district Rotary Foundation chairs and club presidents have contributed more than $2.6 million for the life-changing grants and activities of our Foundation. I am humbled by the tremendous response and I thank you for your continued support of this historic initiative.
AS OF 21 MARCH 2013
2013-14 District Governors: | 100% contributing | $736,532.24 |
2013-14 District Foundation Chairs: | 333 contributing | $485,330.79 |
2013-14 Club Presidents: | 5791 contributing | $1,411,173.32 |
TOTAL CONTRIBUTED: | $2,633,036.35 |
Please extend my sincere thanks to everyone in your districts who have made their gift. I am deeply grateful for their leadership and generous support. I look forward to sharing with you next month that we have further increased our numbers and are on our way to reaching 100% participation.
P.S. Governor Mark has challenged the 2012-13 president’s class to do the same, by contributing as minimum of $100 this year too. Can’t let the president-elects get the best of us!
