Rotary Foundation Meeting
In our regular club meeting on 24.11.2023 we had a lecture on "THE ROTARY FOUNDATION"
by PDG Dr. RS Parmar. Dr Parmar through PPT traced the history of foundation from the
beginning to the present and also made us aware regarding the different kinds of funds and their
importance- Annual fund, polio eradication fund and endowment fund. He emphasized the role of
rotary in polio eradication and various other projects all over the world.
He highlighted the fact that up to now RC Roopnagar has contributed more than Rs one crore to
this foundation and how it was the most effective organization as the administrative costs of running
this were the least in the world. This accountability had motivated people like Bill Gates to donate
billions of dollars towards TRF for polio eradication.
