Have you made your contribution to The Rotary Foundation's Annual Fund-SHARE this year?
 
Your gift to the Annual Fund helps Rotary clubs take action today to create positive change in communities at home and around the world. Your contributions help us strengthen peace efforts, provide clean water and sanitation, support education, grow local economies, save mothers and children, and fight disease.
 
The Every Rotarian Every Year initiative asks every Rotarian to support The Rotary Foundation every year.  
 
At the end of every Rotary year, contributions directed to the Annual Fund-SHARE from all Rotary clubs in the district are divided between the World Fund and the District Designated Fund, or DDF.  
 
At the end of three years, DDF come back to our District to pay for Foundation, Club, and District projects that your Club and others in the district choose. Districts may use up to half of their DDF to fund district grants. The remaining DDF may be used for global grants or donated to PolioPlus, the Rotary Peace Centers, or another district.
 
Note we are lagging behind in our expected Annual Fund-SHARE donations for the current year.  Please consider making your donation today.
