Without a doubt you  enjoyed a frightful, fun-filled Halloween, then enjoyed that extra hour of sleep to wake up refreshed to a brand new month.  I know you will not be surprised that I now remind you that the month  bears the name, Rotary Foundation Month.
On Wednesday I will try to be brief so there will be time for committee meetings during this Club Assembly.  I will just hit the highlights and remind you of the good things the Foundation accomplishes, with emphasis on one of its special efforts; the elimination of Polio worldwide.
On the 11th, we will hear from a District level expert who will bring the latest news from the Foundation, hoping  to inspire every dues paying Club member to contribute at least something to the Foundation this Rotary Year.  On the third meeting of the month there will be more gentle reminders of the Foundation and the benefits of contributing.   
As you know we will then yield to Thanksgiving Day preparations and will not meet again until December.  When you give your Thanksgiving Day thanks, remember the great good things the Foundation does, and its potential to help our Club accomplish its goals. Listen in during the month and learn how all that happens.
