March, 2026 Foundation First Newsletter
 Michelle Bell, District Foundation Chair Foundation First Newsletter - March, 2026 Good day Rotarians, While I wasn't thrilled to give up an hour of sleep, I was thrilled to think about Spring. It reminds me of new beginnings. The Rotary Foundation offers new beginnings to people all over the world through District and Global Grants. These projects are funded through your generous donations to the Rotary Foundation. If you'd like to learn more about the "How" or if your club has already selected a project, please attend one of the two Grant Seminars upcoming by registering at the District website - www.district5970.org and clicking on the date of the event on the calendar on the left side of the home page. The date options are March 18 in the evening and April 18 on Saturday morning. District Conference The District Conference is just around the corner. Please join us in Iowa Falls where we will celebrate our donors as well as raise funds for our projects through the Annual Duck Race and a Silent and Live Auction. Our celebration on Friday night recognizes Major Donors and Bequest and Paul Harris Society Members. It's not too late to join these ranks and attend. Please reach out with questions on how to qualify. Global Scholars Read our latest updates from our Global Scholars in the United Kingdom!

Rotary International is launching a campaign called, “Countdown to History.” Goals were set and pledges were made, the and we can’t do it without you, as Rotarians. We are asking for Rotarians across District 5970 to give a minimum of $40 to End Polio Now. This will get our District to the goal set by Rotary International. |
