During the year we have told stories of how our contributions to Our Rotary Foundation have made the blind see, new-born babies live, crippled to have new limbs, illiterate to read and on and on. Needs continue; I encourage you to join the good works being done by giving what you can before June 30. It will make a world of difference in the life of someone whom you may never meet, but your heart will feel better for it.
The competition will match the North and South regions of Rotary District 6080 as divided by the Dulle (District Governor-Elect)-Beltz (Current District Governor) Line, seen on the map on the next page. The goal is for each region to accumulate as many points as possible by doing volunteer work or donating money or food to regional food banks and pantries or other charitable organizations which provide food for the needy and hungry. The Competition will run from June 27th through July 31st. The winning region will be recognized in District publications and meetings and an appropriate traveling trophy will be awarded at the District Conference.
Rotary clubs are having a tremendous impact on communities around the world. In southwest Uganda, Rotary members from Europe, Uganda, and the United States have teamed up with a pioneering doctor and two private entrepreneurs to address the needs of the Batwa Pygmies. Together, they’ve opened a nursing school to train badly needed caregivers for the entire region.
