This is Rotary Foundation Month, and celebrates doing good in the world through the donations made by Rotarians. These donations change lives around the world. The Rotary Foundation (TRF) will celebrate 100 years in 2017. At the 1917 RI convention, outgoing Rotary President Arch Klumph proposed to set up an endowment “for the purpose of doing good in the world.” In 1928, it was renamed The Rotary Foundation, and it became a distinct entity within Rotary International. The Rotary Club of Kansas City made the first donation of $26.50.
Program
Sally Brawly, Eastmont Parks Director, talked about the proposed $4M levy (bond) to improve the Eastmont pool, replace the playground, and add a splash pool. The pool was built in 1973 and covered in 1076, and has undergone typical and costly maintenance and repairs. The current playground was built in 1969, and is too costly and impractical to repair. The levy is the first since 2007. The Municipal Park District was formed in 2004, and is not part of the city or county.

Changes include starting and ending the ride at Pybus, selling jerseys on the internet (giving a different item with their registration), staggered start, and beer garden opening at 10:00 (Wenatchee Brewery providing beer).
The Rotaract is being formed, and potential member Laura Singletary, WVC Director of Student Program, is having meetings Nov. 9 (1:00) and Nov. 10 (3:00). We are welcome to attend.
$1200 were raised on World Polio Day by a few people collecting money by Cherry Creek Radio, and donations at the Poilo potluck last week. Donations were matched by an individual, and then matched again by the Gates Foundation making the total $6000.
Lucas showed us his "bucket list" of things he hopes to see and do while here this year. As his host club, we can make it happen. Call him when you can take him somewhere, or for coffee, dinner, etc.
