The Rotary Foundation has been improving lives since 1917.

Learn about our work and help us celebrate 100 years

of doing good in the world.

Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Ray Klinginsmith

asked district governors in training at the International Assembly

to lead the celebration of the Foundation's centennial year, 2016-17.

"You are the primary contacts between the Foundation

and our 34,000 Rotary clubs in the world.

The success of the centennial celebration is largely in your hands,"

said Klinginsmith at a 19 January general session.

"Catch the spirit and spread the word about the importance

of celebrating our success."

Since the Foundation was established in 1917,

it has spent more than $3 billion on programs

and projects to improve the lives of millions worldwide,

said Klinginsmith.

The centennial celebration officially kicks off in May

at the Rotary Convention in Korea

and culminates at the 2017 convention in Atlanta.
