This is my 13th November as a Rotarian and as I reminisce about my start in Rotary I can’t help remember a special project our club sponsored.  I joined Rotary because it offered me an opportunity to give back.  I know many of you did for the same reason!  Anyway, the project was a schoolhouse for handicapped children in the Dominican Republic. It may me feel so proud to be a part of an effort so far away to help children far less fortunate than mine.  Every time we had an update from our partner club I felt honored to be a contributor and that my club was involved!
 
Over the next 13 years my club had many projects both international and local and I experienced the same feeling of helping, even in a small way.  I know today, these projects which are carried out by clubs across District 6630 are funded by me and you through our commitment to giving. A large percentage of our donation to TRF comes back to the district to fund our local and International projects. What other charity offers an opportunity to direct your donation to a project you are personally involved?  I believe being a Rotarian is a commitment of service and giving and that is why I chose to be the 2019-2020 TRF Fundraising Chair for our district. I ask that all Rotarians make a donation this year if you haven’t in previous years and also, increase your donation if you gave in 2018.  Your club will be highlighting the TRF sometime in November.  I am proud to be a partner with you in supporting TRF!  Thank you!
