Dear Fellow Rotarians, The new Rotary year brings in more good news. We can cheer up to the fact that now for the 3rd consecutive year India is the 2nd highest giving country in the Rotary world. Our total contributions were $ 19 million. Of this $ 9 million was in the Annual Program Funds making a per capita Annual Fund contribution of $ 65.45 in India. I am sure, with an excellent beginning we will again be at the number 2 spot for this year too.

Without The Rotary Foundation's Endowment Fund, our efforts would be for naught. The endowment is the backbone of Rotary's efforts around the world, providing access to the time, talent, and resources needed to make a difference. Our goal of building the Endowment Fund to $2.025 billion by 2025 and this year's fundraising goal of $380 million are surely some of the most important tasks at hand for our organization. Your financial support has made
