ROTARY FOUNDATION Dear Fellow Rotarian, Club President and District Leader, It sounds too good to be true but we are aiming to locate 50 people from within each of our District 9500 & 9520 geographical areas who will agree to leave $10,000 as a bequest to The Rotary Foundation. 100 people at $10K equals ONE MILLION DOLLARS. The Dinner to launch the program will be held at The Adelaide Oval on SATURDAY 21 NOV. Guest speaker will be the fabulous Rotary International Director Jennifer Jones. The draft brochure gives you a lot of useful information. I will send through the final copy when it is ready. The price quoted for the Dinner will, however, change - it is likely to be $80 per person. We are looking for an average of one person per Club, be they a Rotarian or not. Please can you actively seek out people who might consider making this gift. Be a Gift to the World! Kind regards Dick
