My three children have all completed their studies and chosen their own paths. I felt it was only fair to give others a chance as well. I chose The Rotary Foundation, in which I place my utmost trust, and the Community Economic Development area of focus.

I'm committed to fulfilling a pledge I made to myself in my childhood: to become like a life-sustaining blade of grass, capable of making a difference for others. Because our small donation can bring about the growth and development of the community, we are choosing to live Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self.”

We have received far more from Rotary than we have given. Leaving a legacy to The Rotary Foundation helps ensure that Rotary’s work continues long after us. It is exciting to know that we will be part of Rotary’s future.
