2017-2018 Foundation Awards Banquet November 8, Colonial Heritage Club:
The 2017-18 year was very rewarding for District 7600. Our members and clubs contributed or bequeathed over one million dollars ($1,000,000) to The Rotary Foundation. It is our first Mi$$ion dollar year. And we have every member and club contributor to thank!
Yes, the theme for Past District Governor John D. Padgett’s year was definitely about Rotary: Making a Difference.
Join the District at the Rotary Foundation Awards Banquet on November 8, at the Colonial Heritage Golf Club, in Williamsburg and help celebrate the generosity of the Rotary Clubs and Rotarians who will be recognized on that evening.
Our Keynote Speaker is Zoe Romano, our District Global Scholar. Zoe was endorsed by the Rotary Club of South Richmond for the Global Scholar program and nominated to the District which approved her and endorsed her to Rotary International. She has completed her two years of study in Central and South America, returned to her home in Maine, and married her fiance, William Byers, on the weekend of our District Conference, of all things.

The takeaway, oft repeated in the plenary sessions was “Membership, it’s the only thing.” 35+ Rotarians in the Membership seminar were led capably by District Membership Co-Chairs, Mike Jallo, and Shel Douglas. LaShonda Delivuk also spoke in this session about the synergy between membership and public image. No one will know our Rotary stories unless we have members to share their stories and unless our members share them.

Foundation. These stories of our good works with our will inspire our membership to become more engaged and invite others in the community to become Rotarians or join in the fun as Rotarian partners and supporters. Our stellar public image efforts and our vibrant membership will inspire us and our friends to continue or step up our generosity of dollars and volunteerism in our good works through club projects and through The Rotary Foundation.
Yes, we were rained out in May. The whole idea had been to have our Richmond area game earlier in the year to beat the heat of July. Well, we did, but what had not been anticipated was the rain, not a polite, respectful rain, but a deluge of a rain. The Squirrels, rightfully, called the game and helped us reschedule for the June 14th date.
