Following our Foundation’s record-breaking centennial year in RY 2016-17 – during which your district reached several new highs in giving and participation – we have struggled to maintain our momentum this year. Annual Fund giving is down 19.5% (-$121,367). PolioPlus giving, however, is up 4.6% ($3,100). We are not alone in this decline. Twenty of the 22 districts that comprise Rotary Zones 27 and 21b (we are in 21b) are down this year. Yes, we have company, but the decline is nevertheless worrisome. We can, and must, do better.
