Our Rotary Foundation Congratulations to each of you who made 2011-12 one of the best in The Rotary
Foundation's history!
Rotary-wide, $110.6 million was raised for the Annual Fund, the second highest
amount in the Foundation's history and a 3.72% increase from the previous year.
Our District 5890 was honored to finish 29th in the world (out of 530 Districts)
in total Annual Fund giving and 24th in Per-capita giving. In addition, we
received a letter from Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Bill Boyd, praising our
District for being one of just a few Districts in which 100% of our clubs
contributed and gave a total of more than $100 per member District-wide. Our
per-capita giving was a record $186.12 per member. Congratulations to DG
Rhonda, Foundation Chair Suzi, and our own Annual Fund Chair Lucy Pendon
for leading us through this great year!
