Trustee Chair's Jan 09 Message
January 2009 Message from the chair -- Promote our Foundation's
good work


[Jonathan Majiyagbe]

Dear family of Rotary,

If the general public were aware of half of the good work our Rotary
Foundation does, I'm convinced we would be inundated with
contributions and prospective members. That's why one of our goals
for 2008-09 is to work with Rotary International to enhance our public
image.

How can we do this? One way is by working with local media to publicize
our humanitarian projects. Make sure that people in the communities
where we work know that The Rotary Foundation and local Rotarians are
behind that new water well or health clinic or school. Publicize the
international projects your club is sponsoring with Foundation grants.
Invite the media to meet with a visiting Group Study Exchange team or an
Ambassadorial Scholar studying in your community. All of us have
inspirational Rotary stories to tell. Let's make sure we share them
with others.

In recent years, our Foundation's presence on the international
stage has grown enormously, thanks to our role in global polio
eradication. It's time to bring the news of our achievements to the
local level. January is Rotary Awareness Month, an excellent time to
inform our communities about the many ways that The Rotary Foundation is
doing good in the world.

Jonathan Majiyagbe
Foundation Trustee Chair
