The Rotary Foundation turns 100
Rotary is marking the Foundation’s centennial with a year of festivities, which kicked off at the 2016 Rotary Convention in Seoul and will culminate at the 2017 convention in Atlanta.
Ask anyone who has been touched by The Rotary Foundation what it is and every answer will be different. Ask anyone who has been touched by The Rotary Foundation just how important it is, and every answer will be identical.
Celebrating The Rotary Foundation’s centennial gives us the opportunity to educate and inspire the community about Rotary, encourage community giving, and engage members, alumni, major donors, and friends of Rotary.
