Review on The Rotary Foundation – RY 2021-2022
Rotary International D3450 62nd District Conference was successfully held on May 28-29. This year it has been both exciting yet memorable occasion to celebrate our achievement. I would like to thank every member at District 3450 for your generous contribution to support TRF in view of some projects being delayed and the urge in meeting pandemic needs for the community.
Due to Covid, we have changed the format from Foundation Lunch to a separate TRF Presentation at District Conference. We had the honor of having Rotary International President’s Personal Representative, RI Director-Nominee Ghim Bok Chew in Singapore joining us online to witness the recognition ceremony. We recognized contributions from District Grant, Global Grant, EREY, Top Contributing Clubs, Paul Harris Fellow, Paul Harris Society, New Benefactors, Major Donors, Endowment Fund and AKS.
