In 1917, Rotary International President Arch C. Klumph proposed an endowment "for the purpose of doing good in the world." His vision became The Rotary Foundation. Dedicated to supporting and following that vision in district 7070 is Past District Governor and District 7070 Foundation Chair Bill Patchett. Bill, together with his wife Delphine ensure that Rotary District 7070 is at the top of the annual fundraising spectrum for Rotary Foundation. Built on the knowledge that Rotary Foundation transforms financial gifts into projects that change lives both close to home and around the world, Bill has put his heart and soul into empowering Rotarians to give. He knows, and helps district Rotarians understand the power of the foundation to drive our priorities, such as eradicating polio and promoting peace. Foundation grants empower Rotarians to approach challenges such as poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition with sustainable solutions that leave a lasting impact.
To show your gratitude and appreciation for the years of dedication that Bill and Delphine have delivered, we invite you to salute Bill and Delphine Patchett on February 28th, 2016.
