The Rotary Foundation

One of the messages from The District Assembly that was held in Stawell yesterday was the message of giving to The Rotary Foundation, whish allows the Global and District Grants to happen. It is one of the most important things that our clubs and members can do. Getting married last month means my will  had to be redone, part of which I am leaving a Bequest to the Foundation, by doing so I know that the money will do good in the world and will be my legacy to the world my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will live in.
