• Foundation is another priority – $200,000 Polio + $300,000 for annual fund +Bequest society  – $500,000 (Just one million dollars in total)

• International projects, which I’m happy to see your club supports
• September – community service with Kiwanis
• October – Sock-tober
• November – plans revealed for Honor Flight of Rotarians next spring
• Let them know you are Rotarians by the deeds that you do and service you provide. 

What has Rotary done for me?

• Rob Radcliff: the past has built our foundation as we remember Steve, Earl and Harry this new year. He wanted opportunity to serve the community, to help those in need, but also to build relationships and friendships.
• Daryl Wolfe: He was a Lions member for 30+ years and it folded. He wanted a club serving the community and to have good fun with members. (Pumpkin Show is less than 100 days away and everything has been ordered.)
• Bob Sneed: Mark Taylor was president (2007) and he formed a new committee – literacy. For years we passed out dictionaries (1,000 a year). It was originally funded by passing the hat. Educators we talk to now say dictionaries are not used because of the computer. Now we support Dolly Parton Library. Pickaway county has one of the highest participation (71%) rates in the state. We are helping fund those books along with a district grant.
