Agenda �Introduction �Overview of Rotary Foundation �District #5960 Fun Facts �NBMV Club #2155 Fun Facts �Promote Polio Plus Bonus Plan

Relevance of the Foundation �Because I have sat for 13 years where you are sitting this morning, I can identify somewhat with you and your interests. �There’s a very important question to ask: �“What relevance does RIF have to your life and with your involvement here? ” �Each one of us joined RI for important reasons: the networking factor, the social factor, and the communityinterest factor. �However, we hear many appeals here. Every time someone presents a project at our weekly meetings, we each need to step back and ask ourselves some questions about its relevance.

Relevance Checker �(1) Is this appeal founded on values that I hold dear? �(2) Is project well administered, and does it actually carry out the mission it established? �(3) Does it help me reach out to situations that I cannot reach except in this way? �(4) Does this appeal to me? And finally, �(5) Is it a good way for me to invest my bucks and demonstrate who I am as a caring human being in my needy world?

Introduction �The Rotary Foundation has an excellent history and track record. �It is well established, and has drawn involvement from tens of thousands of Rotarians. �I find myself attracted to it because it meets my criteria for relevance for me and how it envisions meeting major needs of our world today. �I hope that this presentation feels especially relevant to you.

Introduction �Gerry and I present this program today with high hopes that you as individuals and as a group will find this on-going project of the Foundation to be one of the most meaningful things we do at Rotary. � Please give us your undivided attention and your best and highest priority motives!
