He said we should be very proud to have Mike Ruby from our club, selected to be the next District Governor. The Rotary Foundation was begun in 1917 with a vision by Arch Klumph to "do good in the world". A $26.50 donation began the Foundation which now has expended over $3 Billion dollars for humanitarian efforts in the world. He discussed our club's contributions and the impact of the $$ given to rid the world of polio. He explained the various funds within the foundation and talked about the grants available from them.
