Rotary Foundation Celebrates 100 Years!
The year-long celebration of The Rotary Foundation’s centennial was kicked-off at the 2016 International Convention in Seoul, Korea on May 28th. The celebration will mark a century of “Doing Good in the World” through humanitarian projects, scholarships, professional training and exchanges, and the remarkable campaign for a polio-free world.
In 2016-17, Rotary clubs throughout the world have been urged to organize Rotary Days to celebrate this milestone by showcasing the Foundation’s rich history and good work. The resources
on the Foundation100 link suggest ways that Rotarians can join the party through a wide variety of initiatives. Some clubs are already pooling resources with neighboring clubs to organize larger events.
"This centennial year is the perfect time to tell your community about The Rotary Foundation," according to Rotary Regional Foundation Coordinators Larry Dimmit, Zone 27 and Suzi Howe, Zone 21b. "As you mark the occasion, be sure to prominently display your club name and The Rotary Foundation centennial logo on any signage. In addition, share your photos and stories on your social media pages using #TRF100."
