I’ve just had some great news from ARH Director PDG Graeme Davies. D 9685 is one of the TOP donors to ARH this year with around $66K being exceeded by only two other districts. (This is where we all cheer, clap ourselves on the back and congratulate each other.)
 
On looking at the statistics I am even more excited because there are still about 40 9685 clubs yet to send on their donations to ARH. I know a lot of clubs are yet to finalize their donations so I feel sure we may in fact double the $66K. You may recall that I suggested that if each club donated $500 of their hard earned funds we would, as a District, donate some $35K to ARH – we are well on the way to achieving this.
 
At the end of this Rotary year I look forward to letting you all know that we at least hold our position or step up the donations ladder. Keep in mind that ARH funds research ONLY in Australia BUT that the results of that research is made available to the whole world – what a wonderful gift we help make come true.
