November is Rotary Foundation Month.  It has been said that the Rotary Foundation is the engine that enables Rotarians to do good in the world.  And, in last week’s note, I urged all members to contribute at least $100 to the Foundation during the 2017-2018 Rotary year.

I am really looking forward to Thursday morning’s program because we will hear about an amazing project led by our club which was made possible by a Global Grant from the Rotary Foundation.  Of course, I’m speaking about the Vocational Training Team to Mfuwe, Zambia which was comprised of Emmaus High School teachers Melissa Montero and Mike Mihalik, as well as our own Cindy and Chris Hornaman.  The goal of the VTT was to enhance curriculum and teaching techniques for physical science and social studies at the secondary school in  Mfuwe.  

On Thursday, the team will share their experiences of traveling to Zambia and their work with the administration, faculty and students.  And you will better understand how your gifts to the Foundation are creating lasting change in the lives of students, teachers and families in one small corner of Africa. You don’t want to miss their presentation!

Yours in Rotary,

Burt
