Rotary Foundation

Jan 07 - Barb Feder gave us a view of the Rotary Foundation from a personal perspective. Barb was District Governor from 2001-2002 and one of the founding members of the Kyrene Corridor Rotary Club. She was able to give us some "old stories" and some background information. There were too many wonderful stories to report here but some examples are: the story of the Ambassador student we sent to Australia just before 9/11 and how the student responded to the situation; her Pakistan experience which she and our current D.G., Abe Feder, had last year: and her involvement in the matching grant program with Mexico. Her stories put a more intimate face on the Foundation and all the good programs it is involved in. She stressed the current goal of having every Rotarian contribute $100 every year and encouraged our club to meet our annual financial goal.
