...At our recent Million Dollar Meal, we had the pleasure of hearing from Joe Mitchell, who delivered a presentation on The Rotary Foundation and the transformative impact it continues to have worldwide.
Joe began by highlighting the Foundation’s mission to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. He emphasized how every dollar contributed plays a part in that mission — from global efforts like eradicating polio to local community grants that make a direct impact close to home.
Joe encouraged us to keep up our club’s tradition of generosity and to think about our own contributions to continue our club's tradition of Service Above Self.
