Caring for Mothers and Children
President's Message
This month Rotary International turns its focus to mothers and children throughout the world. The health of a society is the health of the family, and at the root of the family is the health of mothers and their children. Rotarians are dedicated to providing essential healthcare, nutrition, and sanitation in communities throughout the world to save lives of mothers and children. We are also dedicated to supporting education for mothers and children to provide them with the tools for a better life.
In our own community, we share this commitment. Our club supports Shepherd's Gate, Tri-Valley Haven, CAPE Head Start, and Livermore Schools, among others. Collectively, we care for and provide resources to support the health and independence of mothers in our community. We offer our time and talents. And we offer our funds through our Mini-Grant program and our Rotarian Foundation of Livermore Annual Grants.
Since she joined Rotary in 2012, Rosemary Almand was at the heart of our club's service to mothers and children. Her compassionate leadership as the Director of CAPE Head Start in Livermore paired with her commitment to service as a Rotarian inspired us all to support our community's mothers and children. Rosemary's leadership as Grants Chair for both our club and RFL allowed us to infuse resources into our community. Personally, she knew the love of being a mother and grandmother. She positively glowed when she shared her family's accomplishments. And she worked so that all could experience that love and that pride.
Rosemary's life was dedicated to helping mothers and children. Let us take the baton and go forward in her name to continue serving others.

Our Rotary International Donations Make a Global Impact
This month our Board voted to allocate our club's District Designated Funds (DDF) toward the Area 4 Global Grant project in support of educating girls in Bali. Our club has $3,798 available in DDF. By partnering with other clubs in Area 4 to be part of the Global Grant, our donation is virtually doubled in its impact to support these girls develop independence through education.
Remember that we are offering up to $400 in matching contributions to help members attain their Paul Harris recognition! We are counting on each of our members to contribute some amount so that we can earn the Every Rotarian Every Year honor that shows our commitment to helping individuals in our global community.
Please contact George Wineinger with any questions about the Rotarian Foundation.
