Exchanging banners: PDG Bob Hagan, Serbian DGN Vlad Laloservic, PDG Vlad Matic, DMGO and International Service Director Lee Hollingsworth, and Roswell President Trummie Patrick.

District 6900 welcomes and celebrates Serbian District 2483’s delegation, Vladimir Matic and Vladimir Laloservic. The ongoing partnership has fostered multiple Global Grants that organize elementary, middle, and high school student competitions in Robotics and AI — cutting-edge knowledge and engaging educational processes that can be shared across school systems globally.

The Foundation provides only the seed funding. From there, every Global Grant:

• Requires all parties to contribute their own funds and volunteer time
• Requires a realistic, self-sustaining process that delivers continued and increasing benefits
• Lets donors see exactly where their dollars are being used
• Invites Rotarians to participate directly as volunteers are needed
• Allows us to identify needs ourselves and build our own projects

The Foundation changes the attitude of “that’s a shame” into “we can fix that.”

It changes our role in the world.

For those of us fortunate enough to be blessed: find a project, build one, or help others live lives of productive purpose. Become a Major Donor or Arch Klumph Society member with current gifts, and remember the Foundation in your estate through the Bequest Society.
