March-The Rotary Foundation - D6000-Newsletter

The generosity of District 6000 Rotary members is truly inspiring!

Thanks to your commitment and compassion, you and your fellow members have contributed over $260,000 to the Rotary Foundation this year—making a tangible difference in the lives of people across Iowa, the United States, and the world.

Every gift, whether $25 or $100,000, plays a vital role in fueling Rotary’s life-changing work. With an average donation of $89 per member, your collective generosity is a testament to the power of service and giving. As members deepen their understanding of the Rotary Foundation’s impact, their support often grows, reflecting their lifelong dedication to making the world a better place.

Your leadership and efforts in educating and inspiring fellow Rotarians about the Foundation’s mission do not go unnoticed. We are deeply grateful for all you do to strengthen our shared commitment to service.

As always, please reach out to us or your Assistant Governor if you have any questions or need additional resources.

Wishing you a wonderful rest of the month, and thank you for all that you do!

Best regards,

Neil Fell - West- Annual Fund Chair

Mark Ruggeberg - East  - Annual Fund Chair
