Today our program looked inward to learn more about the Rotary Foundation and to give a new member more than an elevator speech opportunity to introduce themselves to the Club.

Ferguson 020416Club member PDG Joe Ferguson and current Chair of District 7570 Committee for Foundation Planned Giving / Significant Gifts introduced a newly produced video by Rotary International titled “A Century of Doing Good in the World”. The scope of work undertaken and accomplished by the Rotary Foundation is truly impressive.
