Connecting the Dots-Foundation CommitteeWelcome to our new Rotary Year - Create Hope in the World
By: Sarah MacGillivray, Secretary, and Public Image Coordinator, District Foundation Committee, RC of Bath Sunrise
What better way to start a new Rotary year than making sure we have all the information we can. Visit the RI Learning Center’s page on OUR Rotary Foundation: https://learn.rotary.org/members/learn/catalog/view/69 The Learning Center has multiple pages of helpful resources, not just on OUR Rotary Foundation.
- I am proud to say that our own District website has fabulous information on our own Foundation pages. Please visit: https://rotary7780.org/page/resources-for-club-foundation-chairs-1 whether you are a new Foundation Chair, Club President, new member, or just need some refresher information on OUR Rotary Foundation.
- If you still feel like there are questions that you need answers to, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the members of our District Foundation Committee. For contact information log onto the District Clubrunner site and enter the members area. Click on the Organization tab and then the District Committees tab to find the link to the Foundation Committee.

Visit the RI Learning Center’s page on OUR Rotary Foundation: https://learn.rotary.org/members/learn/catalog/view/69 The Learning Center has multiple pages of helpful resources, not just on OUR Rotary Foundation, so please take a moment to visit and maybe learn something new! You will have to log in, and so may have trouble with this link. But not to worry, it is just a few easy clicks to find it again:
- Log in (you will need your Rotary.org username and password, that may or may not be the same as you use to log into your own club’s website)
- From the “My Rotary” page, click on the “Learning & Resources” tab
- That will open a drag down menu on the left, and you will need to click on “Learning Center”
- This will take you to a page with many options that I’d also recommend, but for this please click on “The Rotary Foundation” and it will open many different courses that we know you will find informative.
If that seems overwhelming, I am proud to say that our own District website has fabulous information on our own Foundation pages. Please visit: https://rotary7780.org/page/resources-for-club-foundation-chairs-1 whether you are a new Foundation Chair, Club President, new member, or just need some refresher information on OUR Rotary Foundation. We have gathered some extremely helpful links and information that we hope will give you the information you need and that you are then able to share that information with your own club members.
If you still feel like there are questions that you need answers to, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the members of our District Foundation Committee. For contact information log onto the District Clubrunner site and enter the members area. Click on the Organization tab and then the District Committees tab to find the link to the Foundation Committee. Consider reaching out if you are in need of a speaker for an upcoming club meeting. Many of our members are available to do an in-person presentation of OUR Rotary Foundation, and we also have some videos and presentations that are linked to the website on the link mentioned above.
Watch for an in-depth look into many facets of OUR Rotary Foundation each month in this District newsletter. It is our goal to help Connect the Dots on how your donations make their way back to us in our District, and help do good in our communities, both locally and around the world.
