Let's wrap things up on a high note this month! If your club or you as an individual have not made your gift for the Rotary year, please consider doing so before June 30th. DONATE NOW


The Rotary Foundation Citation for Meritorious Service recognizes individual Rotarians who have demonstrated outstanding service to the Foundation, such as through their involvement in Foundation committees, grants or programs, or by supporting Rotary.   


This year, our nominee was selected for his tireless and amazing efforts on behalf of the Rotary Foundation. RICK CARON from the Windsor WIDE Rotary Club. We value and appreciate his enthusiastic service to the Foundation, and we thank you for all.
