Leaving a Legacy


Bequest Society Update
As of 31 October 2010, there were 7,581 Bequest Society commitments with an expected value of US$330.9 million!  These commitments represent a significant percentage of the expectancies to the Permanent Fund and an increase of 111 new bequests valued at more than US$5.2 million since September.

As Rotarians, we have many ways to LEAVE A LEGACY - every person we touch, every child who receives a book, every hungry person who receives a meal, every developing world entrepreneur who receives a micro-loan, every family who learns about sanitation, every student who receives a scholarship, every child who is immunized against Polio, every hospital that receives equipment - indeed, everything we Rotarians do helps to make our world a better place - moves us a little closer to World Peace and Understanding.

What are you doing right now that will make a difference?  What will be the Legacy that you leave to future generations? 

Will you include The Rotary Foundation in your will or other estate plan to forever be a part of Rotary's legacy of doing good in the world? www.rotary.org/bequest

Thank you for all you've done - just think what more we can do!
