Rotary focuses on fellowship during June. I m sure all Rotarians enjoy fellowship year round, but let’s take June to enjoy our Rotary friendships, not just with our fellow club members, but with Rotarians around District 6080, as well as Rotarians we meet during our Rotary work.

Rotary is educating and equipping communities around the world to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases. Rotary is addressing malaria, HIV, maternal health, infant mortality, cancer screenings and many other areas!

November is The Rotary Foundation month. The Foundation’s Sustaining Member level is simply a $100 donation every Rotary year. This level has not been adjusted for inflation in at least the last 20 years. One of my goals was to get more Rotarians to commit to donating more than this level each year, so we created the District 6080 Foundation Promoter for those that can give $300 per year. The District 6080 Foundation Champion is for anyone committing to $600 per year. We have special lapel pins for those making this commitment level. If you can give more, a $1,000 per year commitment will put you in the Paul Harris Society.
