Today was Rotary day. We were privileged to have our District 5610 Governor Rich Burns and his wife Kelly visiting our club today. He Brought gifts for our District representatives and presented flags for district awards we received last year for 100% foundation giving, 100% participation in every Rotarian every year to the foundation, number 1 club in foundation giving, and polio plus giving. Nice work Rushmore Rotary! He also shared his goals for this Rotary year.
Founation: Half of foundation giving comes ack to the district as grants. We will have less money to work with this year by about $30,000. We need to get more clubs in the district to support the Rotary Foundation annual fund.
