November Edition
Rotary District 5750 As we enter November, we are reminded of the incredible impact we can make when we come together in service.
This month, Rotary recognizes The Rotary Foundation, which has helped turn generosity into meaningful, lasting change in communities around the world. Thank you to everyone who participated and did an event for World Polio Day.
Across District 5750, our clubs continue to demonstrate what Service Above Self truly means. Whether through local service projects, supporting youth programs, strengthening membership, or building new partnerships, every effort contributes to something greater than ourselves.
November is also a season of gratitude. I want to personally thank our club presidents, officers, committee chairs, and every Rotarian who gives their time, talents, and resources to make a difference. Your dedication is what keeps Rotary moving forward.
As we approach the end of the calendar year, I encourage each club to reflect on its accomplishments, celebrate its members, and look for new opportunities to grow its impact. Consider how your club can support The Rotary Foundation and continue creating lasting change.
Together, we are not just members of Rotary. We are people of action, building stronger clubs, stronger communities, and a brighter future. Thank you for all that you do, and I wish you and your families a wonderful Thanksgiving season.
November: Rotary Foundation Month
November is when we celebrate The Rotary Foundation and the good it makes possible around the world and right here in District 5750. Gifts to the Foundation support PolioPlus, global grants, and district grants. They also help fund projects like the Del City Rotary Park workday featured in this issue.
When you give to the Annual Fund, the money comes back to our district three years later as District Designated Funds, which pay for local grants and service projects. Every dollar helps us bring Rotary's areas of focus to life, from clean water and education to disease prevention and peace.
This month, please consider:
- Making a gift to the Annual Fund or PolioPlus
- Becoming a Paul Harris Fellow, or adding to your recognition level
- Setting up Rotary Direct for easy recurring giving
- Inviting a Foundation speaker to your club meeting
Yours in Rotary,
