FAMILY OF ROTARY
Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynn Dunn and all news should be directed to her at lynn.dunn@rmcpa.com
President John’s Message
This week we have the special privilege to hear from Past Rotary
International President John Germ about The Rotary Foundation and Rotary’s
campaign to end Polio throughout the world. The Rotary Foundation was
founded over 100 years ago at the RI Convention in Atlanta in 1917. Since
it was founded, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing,
sustainable projects.
The Rotary Foundation’s mission is to help Rotary members
advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing
quality education, improving the environment, and alleviating poverty.
What impact do our donations have?
·
For as little
as 60 cents, a child can be protected from polio.
·
$50 can
provide clean water to help fight waterborne illness.
·
$500 can
launch an anti-bullying campaign and create a safe environment for children.
This week, we will recognize Rotarians who have reached their first Paul Harris Fellow giving level and others who reach a Paul Harris+ level. We still have a special matching opportunity for a one for one match of your donations to the Rotary Foundation through December. If you have questions about the matching funds or how to get to your first or next level of giving, contact our Foundation Chair, Leslie Bassett.
John Germ

Don't miss this chance to hear from John in person and to thank him for his leadership and to support our club in this important fight!
Germ joined Rotary in 1976 and has served RI as president in 2016-17, vice president, director, Foundation trustee, and vice chair, aide to the Foundation trustee chair, chair of Rotary’s $200 Million Challenge, RI Board Executive Committee member, chair of numerous committees, area coordinator, and RI training leader.

Did you know… about one in five kids will naturally need glasses to see the board, read a book,
or participate in class. Unfortunately, in underserved communities across the country, 95% of
kids who need glasses, about 2,000,000 in total, do not have them. What chance does each of
these children have to succeed in school, let alone break free from poverty? Vision To Learn
was founded to make sure every child has the glasses he or she needs to succeed in school and
in life. Its mobile clinics solve the problem by bringing eye exams and glasses, free of charge, to
children at schools in underserved communities.

After Hours Learns about Be THE Voice
It's cool to be kind! Roswell Rotary's own Debbie Cwalina and Executive Director of Be THE Voice was the RRAH guest speaker last week! The club loved hearing about her organization's mission and watching a few videos from the Be THE Voice program. After Hours' two main focus areas are veterans and mental health, so it was informative to learn about an initiative that addresses students' mental health struggles.
