I was researching a certain charity on the Charity Navigator website and noticed that the Rotary International Foundation was on their "Perfect 100 List" with the following verbiage:
"The exceptional charities on this list execute their mission in a financially responsible way while adhering to good governance and other best practices that minimize the chance of unethical activities. Each has earned a perfect score for its Financial Health and its Accountability and Transparency. Those two scores then translate into a perfect 100 point overall score. Less than one percent of the thousands of charities rated by Charity Navigators have earned perfect scores."
This is quite an achievement and should give every Rotarian confidence that contributing to the Rotary Foundation is one of the best entities to which anyone could direct one's charitable funds.

MONTHLY GROCERY SHOPPING: Rod Brown will be heading up this year's project. Our club will provide gift cards for shoppers to purchase groceries for needy families at Lawrence & Benton Elementary schools throughout the school year. We need 2 pairs of shoppers each month. You choose the date that's convenient. Rod is lining up his volunteers for October, so if you are available to purchase and deliver groceries, please let Diane know.
