This week's Rotary Foundation Thought is about Matching Grants

Rotary Clubs in Wisconsin created the Power Flour Action Network to make an impact on the lives of infants and severely malnourished children and adults.  Power Flour has targeted malnourished populations in 65 countries to date, providing a very small amount of barley malt flour to cooked starchy staples, such as rice, wheat or maize.  The supplement helps digest the starch, converting it into sugars the body can absorb quickly and easily.  The sugars power the body so that it can grow and function.  A Matching Grant from The Rotary Foundation has enabled Rotarians in Wisconsin to bring Power Flour to children in orphanages and feeding programs in Panama.  Rotarians in the Rotary del Norte club in Panama will carry out the distribution and training in Panama to reach up to 10,000 children in the first year.  Members of the Sturgeion Bay, WI club are now working to develop a commercial model for Power Flour so that it will become self-sustaining. 

Every Rotarian, Every Year - Nourishing bodies and minds.

The Object of Rotary

Image removed by sender.The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular, to encourage and foster;

I.  The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

II.  High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

III.  The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian's personal, business and community life;

IV.  The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST of the things we think say or do

first
     
Is it the TRUTH?
second
     
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
third
      Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
fourth
     
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
