Rotary Photo Friday

December’s not over yet, and it’s easy to forget about Rotary Foundation Month amidst all the busyness of the holidays.  However, there is still time to make your contribution to The Rotary Foundation and help change the lives of people all across the world.  The photo at left is just one example of contributions to The Rotary Foundation making a difference: Both men are land mine victims from Phnom Penh, Cambodia re-learning how to walk after being fitted with prosthetic limbs.  Grants provided by The Rotary Foundation helped fund the rehabilitation center where they received their prosthetic legs and rehab support.

Your contributions to The Rotary Foundation also make a difference locally.  If you postmark your contributions to TRF by December 31, 2009, you will receive a 2009 tax receipt for your gift.  More information on giving to TRF:

Contributions requiring 2009 tax receipts must be postmarked on or before 31 December 2009 and received at The Rotary Foundation by Wednesday, 6 January 2010.  Allow seven (7) days for mail delivery.  Any contributions postmarked after 31 December 2009 will receive 2010 calendar year tax receipts.
