We extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of $200 to Bridget's Cradles Foundation. Your support will help us bless bereaved families with the comfort of a cradle, provide them with support in their grieving, and raise awareness about pregnancy loss.
Our mission would not be possible without the support of amazing people like you. The work we do is sacred and a high calling, and we consider you a clear friend and partner in our ministry. Your gift will provide comfort and hope to bereaved families across the country by allowing them to bond and love on their baby in a special and honoring way. On behalf of these families, we sincerely thank you for your kind and generous donation.
(Bridget's Cradles was a recipient of our Birthday Drawing funds. We will hear more about this organization when Ashley Oliger speaks to our club on August 2)

Thank you for rewarding me the Rotary Scholarship. It will be very beneficial as I pursue my education at Dodge City Community College. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL THEME
"Imagine Rotary” is the 2022-23 presidential theme by RI President Jennifer Jones. She is asking Rotary members to dream big and take action: “We all have dreams, but acting on them is a choice. Imagine a world that deserves our best, where we get up each day knowing that we can make a difference.” The logo for the theme was designed by Riki Salam, an Australian artist and graphic designer specializing in contemporary Indigenous art, design, and communications. He also created the 2023 Rotary International Convention logo.
Meaning of the design elements
The circle in aboriginal culture for instance, signifies our connections to one another. The dots around it represent people and there are seven because of Rotary´s areas of focus. The circle and the dots together become a navigation star – our guiding light. The solid line underneath is what is referred to as a digging stick and it is used when doing hard work. And since Rotary members are people of action – it represents a tool for getting things done.
The Colors
Purple stands for polio eradication, green for the environment (the newest addition to our areas of focus) and white for peace, our core mission.
The 4-Way Test of the things we think, say or do:
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
