Community Connections: A Cross-Community Forum for Global Enlightenment

24 June, 2011 - Federation Square

To live well in our multicultural reality we need to acquire the tools of cross-cultural dialogue; learning through listening  with the mind and the heart as much as by speaking. Respectful engagement  with other traditions, customs and belief systems brings a deeper understanding and respect for the commonalities and also the vibrant differences that exist among us. Both enrich our common journey. Read more

Foundation Thought

This week’s Foundation Thought is about...

Foundation programs

"The Rotary Foundation exists to help Rotarians 'repair' the world when things go wrong…and since things go wrong a lot, we‘re very busy!

If we‘re going to repair the world, we‘ll need some tools and a toolbox.

It is the programs we participate in and the projects we complete through The Rotary Foundation that are the tools in our Rotary toolbox.

We have the tools, but we need to keep up with the ever increasing need for more of them, and that is where the financial support of The Rotary Foundation comes into play.

We must support the Annual Programs Fund of our Foundation through the Every Rotarian, Every Year initiative.

Each of us holds Rotary in a special place in our minds and our hearts.

We have the opportunity every day to decide how we will use Rotary‘s tools to make the world a better place."

Rotarian Barb Feder

President's Thought for the week
