It has been a singular honor to serve as your Director of TRF Programs this past 3 years. As we approach the end of another most successful Rotary Year, it is appropriate to call out those who helped make our work with the Rotary Foundation successful. That of course begins with DG Jeff Johnston and his encouragement and leadership style. Next we need to thank Shirley Pinnix-Evans our District Administrator who keeps us on track, and our PDG John Jetter who has been my right hand and always available not only in his assigned position as head of the TRF Grants Subcommittee but also guiding us through and assisting with learning modules for LSPETS as well as make-up PETS and District Training Assembly. PDG Tom DeWitt and PDG Ted Huffhines have in great measure been responsible for our fund-raising successes, Tom with the Matching Points Campaign and Ted with the Legacy Dinner. Ted’s help also with International Service and Global Grants has made a lasting impact improving lives around the globe. PDG Carroll Greenwaldt chairing our Stewardship Committee and PDG Shirley Griffin chairing our PolioPlus Committee have pushed us to new heights and have reminded us of all the good we can accomplish; and Pamela Walters has shown us how to continue to support TRF Giving effortlessly through the Paul Harris Society.
As you all know Rotary is a Team effort. So how did we do? According to PDG Pamela Stewart, our Zone 31 Regional Rotary Foundation Coordinator, below are the current figures.

PolioPlus

Total (without all matching points in) $ 321,293.00
Congratulations!! We could not have done this without all of you.
