MAY 12TH IS THE FOUNDATION GALA!  REGISTER NOW!

Join us for an evening of fun as we celebrate our Rotarians and our Rotary Foundation!
 
May 12, 2021 7:00 - 7:45 pm
 
Registration is now open for the gala of our Rotary Foundation. We have a jammed-packed hour that will inspire and educate you!  The evening will kick off at 7:00 pm with our master of ceremony, DG Jon Catlin sharing all his wit and wisdom and how our district has made gallons of lemonade during the past Rotary year! We will be sharing videos and pictures of how our clubs used their district grants throughout the evening. Gernot Runschke, our district foundation chair, will honor those Rotarians who achieved the great honor of Paul Harris Fellow. And you will not want to miss our keynote speaker, Ariel Dempsey, our new Global Scholar.  Wow....this lady is something else! Yes of course there will be an opportunity to bid on some Rotary swag in our "live" from the chatbox auction. We will end our hour together with two basket drawings that feature items from all over our district! Yep, you need to be in attendance to win!
 
After you attend our event, please join us in continuing the celebration with Zone 28 & 32
 
This year we have a more exciting way to celebrate clubs' and individual's involvement in Foundation with an online party at 7:00 pm for our district and then joining the Zone 28/32 GALA.
 
The Zone Gala evening will feature a "Red Carpet" pre-show that kicks off at 8:00 pm ET sharp hosted by Rotary International's first female President (to be), Jennifer Jones live!  This will lead us into the variety show with Master of Ceremonies Past RI Director Jeffrey Cadorette, distinguished speakers, entertainers, inspiring stories about service supported by TRF, and much more!
