Foundation.

We set our own records during the Centennial Year. The members of District 7600 established a new high in Per Capita Giving of $229.40, which is an 8.5 percent increase over our previous high of $211.44. That places the members of our district in the top 5 percent of giving Rotarians worldwide. We also set new highs in Annual Fund giving of $632,444 and Total Giving of $791,292, placing District 7600 at second in Zone 33. What an awesome accomplishment!
announce new pledges toward the polio eradication effort at the Rotary Convention in Atlanta. During the session, we heard the news that world governments and other donors have pledged to contribute US$1.2 billion total to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative for polio eradication efforts. The government funding will substantially help to close the US$1.5 billion funding gap, allowing partners to immunize 450 million children every year and support rigorous disease surveillance in both endemic and at-risk polio-free countries. While the government funding makes considerable headway in the fight to end polio, continued support from donors remains vital to achieve a polio-free world.
