The Rotary Foundation

Dr. Mike Abdalla spoke to the club about the current status of The Rotary Foundation and the upcoming changes for the administration of matching grants. Mike has been a member of the Orange Club since 1971. He has been a club President, District Governor and recently served as a Trustee of The Rotary Foundation.

He explained about Rotary's efforts and results in combatting polio around the world. Each week we pass a pig around the room to collect funds for the Bill and Melinda Gates challenge grant for Polio Eradication. This is a great example how, by working together, we can change the world.
