Yesterday, Rolando and I attended the Rotary Foundation Seminar in the Denver Tech Center. As I'm learning more and more about Rotary, it was great to also learn more about the foundation... our sponsor for the GSE trip.
We heard many speakers discuss the various aspects of the foundation including Polio Plus, annual giving, water projects, RAGM (microfinance), GSE, Ambassadorial Scholarships and many more. Hearing firsthand how these experiences/programs have changed people's lives was so inspirational. More exciting was the thought of how in two months, I would be one of them... so affected by the Rotary Foundation.
It was great to see Karen Sekich again, and meet Rolando's fellow Rotarian's from Summit County. We'll be attending the Summit County Rotary Meeting in just over 1 week, so it was fun to meet some of the people we'll be staying with.
The Rotary Foundation does so much for so many people, and as Tom Wolfe pointed out, this is the one charity that truly gives everything it gets and more. It can be hard to choose which charities are worthy of our hard-earned money... the Rotary Foundation is definitely worthy. Often times it seems that your money (whether the amount is large or small) may not make much of a difference. However, it's obvious to me, based on the sheer size and power of Rotary, your dollars work hard when given to the Rotary Foundation.

**Sounds like Jessica and Rolando had a great time the night before at the dinner. We'd love to hear more about it!
