Happy Anniversary to The Rotary Foundation
 
Asbury Park Rotary Honored
 

President Brenda receives 100% Giving award from past RI President Frank Devlyn
 
100 years of "Doing Good in the World" and better than ever.  The Rotary District 7500 "Thanks for Giving Dinner" was held November 11, 2016 to celebrate The Rotary Foundation's beginning in 1917 and recognize Rotary clubs in District 7500 for supporting our admirable organization. President Brenda was at La Bove Grande in Lakehurst, NJ to accept honors for Asbury Park Rotary as a 100% Giving Club for 2015-16 and a check for a District Grant to support the Asbury Park Little League.  A 100% Giving Club has every member give something to TRF with the club donating at a $100 per member average. This is a significant achievement for a large club with many new members, and Traudy should be complimented for accomplishing it during her year as president.
 
Frank Devlyn, RI president for 2000-01, was the featured speaker and told us why The Rotary Foundation is so highly regarded. The good it does to promote peace and goodwill around the world is unmatched.  "People want to give to projects they can trust, are meaningful and make a difference.  So they give to The Rotary Foundation," said Frank. Everyone attending received the book Frank Talk on our Rotary Foundation, coauthored by Frank Devlyn and our District Governor David Forward.  We should all be proud to be Rotarians.
