Indigenous Focus Project - Water First Update
I am thrilled to announce that our District Water First project was the recipient of a $10,000 donation from a Sudbury radio contest organized by Rotarian Mick Weaver and the Stingray radio stations in September. Thanks to all of our members who participated by going on-line to vote for our project.
Also, thanks to the support of the Sudbury’s Rotarians Gerry and Geoffrey Lougheed their Lougheed Foundation has matched with an additional $10,000 donation. These donations bring our total amount received to $48,000 of our $125,000 goal. Thanks to our Sudbury Sunrisers club and all other clubs in the District who have supported this worthwhile project.

What is a Rotary Foundation Bequest Society Member?
Those who have made commitments for future gifts of $10,000 or more to The Rotary Foundation are invited to join the Bequest Society. A bequest gift of at least $10,000 in your name to The Rotary Foundation creates a legacy of your generosity and compassion as you are helping many people live better lives around the world. Today there are over 18,000 Bequest Society Members worldwide.
Will you join them by leaving a gift to Rotary in your estate? Ask me to put you in contact with The Rotary Foundation’s Planned Giving team.
All of our clubs are working hard to attract new members. But are our efforts paying off? Maybe it is time to look at what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to attraction.
