District 6400 – Building The Rotary Foundation’s Future--Last call for tickets! Purchase them today!

Whether you are considering making a legacy gift to secure the future of the Rotary Foundation and/or you want to contribute to the annual fund which helps us with our many grants where we do good in our communities and around the world, please join us for our Legacy Dinner event, which will take place on November 21, 2024 at 6pm. Click HERE to purchase a ticket to this event!

Our Keynote speaker at the event will be David LaMotte

David LaMotte is a songwriter, speaker and author. In 2004, David and his wife Deanna founded PEG Partners, a non-profit organization that supports mentoring, education, and artistic expression in Guatemala. LaMotte suspended his music career for two years, beginning in 2008, to pursue his other primary vocation by accepting a Rotary World Peace Fellowship to study International Relations, Peace and Conflict Resolution at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. As part of that study, he also spent time in rural Andhra Pradesh, India working with a Gandhian development organization. We are truly excited that he will be able to join us.

With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world. When you give to The Rotary Foundation, you are directly supporting Rotary’s work. Your gift makes our service projects — projects
