Each year, Rotary International highlights November as Rotary Foundation Month to emphasize the importance of and need for Rotarian support of The Rotary Foundation. Contributions from Rotarians around the world go to the Foundation's Annual Programs Fund, which provides grants and awards through Foundation programs; and the Permanent Fund, an endowment from which only the earnings are spent in support of Foundation programs, ensuring the long-term viability of the Foundation.Every dollar contributed by Rotarians funds humanitarian and educational programs and program operations. Clubs and districts apply for and receive Foundation grants to carry out worthy projects worldwide. If Rotary is to be there to teach children to read, build wells, feed the hungry, care for the sick, shelter the poor; then Every Rotarian is invited and encouraged to support the Annual Fund with a personal contribution, Every Year.
Our goal is that each member donates at least $100.
How can I make a gift in support of the Rotary Foundation?
Visit the Rotary International website (www.rotary.org) and log in to make your gift: one time, regular/sustaining (recurring gift at the timing of your choice), to the program area of your choice – all of the information is there for you to choose what would be most meaningful to you. You can also give a check to Roblyn.
Or – you can visit www.rotary.org and click on The Rotary Foundation for additional information on ways to give, as well as to learn more about how our gifts make a difference around the world. Let’s meet the yearly challenge to get 100% participation in the Annual Fund this year and set the standard for every year to follow!
Wednesday, October 30 was our second knighting ceremony at Wayside Eden Park Academy for the Early Act First Knight program. Students who displayed and learned the trait for the previous six weeks are honored at the knighting ceremony. This past six week’s trait was confidence. All the students received a medallion and the fifth graders were knighted with a big sword. The students are very impressed with Lady Amber and were very attentive. Also, they have pretty much learned the FOUR-WAY TEST by heart. 
We had a very successful and fun time at our Pints for Polio event that we hosted at DK Maria's along with the South Austin and Westlake club. What a great turnout!
One Day. One Focus: Ending Polio
World Polio Day is a time for Rotary members, public health advocates, and all who want a world free from polio to come together, recognize our progress in the fight to end polio, and talk about the actions we need to take in order to end polio for good. All donations are matched 2:1 by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, tripling your impact!
Please join us on Thursday, October 24 (World Polio Day) for Pints for Polio at DK Maria’s at 5:00pm. This is a joint project with our club, Rotary Club of South Austin and Rotary Club of Austin Westlake. DK Maria’s will donate $1 to PolioPlus for every drink ordered. Grab a friend and come join us!
