Double Sustainer Program
The
Double Sustainer program is not something
new to Rotary because many districts have had such a program in place for
sometime, but it is new to District 6060.
The purpose of the program is to encourage
Rotarians and friends to donate $200 per year to the Annual
Programs Fund of our Rotary Foundation. With this, the donor will receive a
special pin, shown to the right.
We continue in our belief that Every
Rotarian, Every Year should be striving to give $100 to the Annual Programs
Fund of our Rotary Foundation. It is through the efforts of Every Rotarian,
Every Year that District 6060 exceeded $100 per member in support of the
Annual Programs Fund during the 2004-2005 Rotary year. Many in our district
would like to see us be able to award more Ambassadorial Scholarships or
have more funds available to give to our clubs as Community Assistance
Program grants, and have more funds to use on Matching Grants. We hope that
by properly recognizing and thanking our donors, we will encourage more
Rotarians to be willing to give more each year, to help us reach higher
levels of giving, and thereby we will have more funds for our use on
educational and humanitarian programs of our Rotary Foundation.
The
Double Sustainer program of District 6060 is one way for us to say “thank you”
to both our fellow Rotarian donors AND our Rotary Foundation for what we have received and to ensure that we
will be able to continue working to improve the lives and living conditions
of people who are less fortunate within our communities and around the
world.
