NEWSLETTER Jan 2019

#031 We have reached the end of the first half of the 2018-19 Rotary year. It is important to highlight some impressive results: the great ac on of the clubs for the eradica on of Poliomyeli s, including significant collec on for the Polio Plus program, the excellent use of the DDF in Global Grant projects, almost completed the reports of the District Grant and two fellows Pro-peace designated by our district approved for postgraduated courses abroad. However, aiming to reach our excellent results as usual, we need to strengthen our commitment to the Annual Fund in order to con nue to deliver more projects. We had a great turnaround this second semester. A great and inspiring start to 2019 to all! Carlos Torci GD 2018-19 D 4420 (SP ABCDMR - Baixada San sta)
