District Governor's Message
November is the time Rotarians celebrate the power of The Rotary Foundation. The impact is evident throughout our district through our giving and District Grants. Did you know that a percentage of what you contribute to the Rotary Foundation comes back to our district in the form of District Grants? This is the opportunity for your club to apply for the funds to assist with a local or global project. 
 
District 5400 clubs have received Rotary Foundation dollars for projects including; Park improvement projects, literacy and school supplies, Christmas baskets for those in need, delivery truck repairs, everyday leadership, community gardens, supplies for CASA, youth camp medical supplies, hygiene items for students, portable sound systems, and psychiatric care for the underserved. Small and large clubs are creating significant impacts in the communities we serve.
 
November is also a time for gratitude and thanks. I am thankful for Rotarians who choose to make a difference in our communities and the world with our time and contributions. I encourage you to consider contributing to the foundation through Rotary Direct. Simply go here and sign in to make your contribution.
