Annual Foundation Report with Don Draayer and Randy Schumacher
Our Program on November 19th was the annual report and review of the activities of the club’s foundation. The report was given by the chair of the board of trustees, Dr. Don Draayer.
It is somewhat confusing because of the two Rotary Foundations that we talk of. The large foundation is the international foundation, and we (as Rotarians) try to each donate something each year to their program. This is the big foundation, and funds Polio Plus and other international programs.
Don’s talk centered one the club’s own foundation. It was established to allow members to make tax-deductible donations to our club that will be used for charitable projects. In 5-1/2 years, this foundation has given $82,140.00 to projects approved by the club board and the foundation board of trustees. Current trustees are Don Draayer, Dave Peterka, Terry Roeser, and Randy Schumacher.
