Hi Guys,
RI pubishes each year a great brochure entitled ROTARY BASICS. Here is
a small portion from that publication.
Did you know?
• Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarships is the
world’s largest privately funded scholarship program.
• The Rotary Foundation has contributed more than
$420 million in grants for development and humanitarian
aid in the developing world.
• Rotarians have established a host of organizations
dedicated to various humanitarian causes, including
ShelterBox, HungerPlus, Gift of Life, and Rotary Doctor
Bank.
• Providing vitamin A supplements during polio National
Immunization Days has averted an estimated 1.5 million
childhood deaths since 1998 — testimony to the
“plus” in PolioPlus.
• RI representatives work with many major international
organizations, including the UN and several of
its agencies, the Organization of American States, the
Council of Europe, and the African Union.
The 8 page ROTARY BASICS may be read at:
