September 2000
Dear Club President:
I would like to extend my warmest congratulations and sincere appreciation to you and your Rotary Club for being one of the top three per capita contributors to the Annual Programs Fund from your district in 1999-2000. The Trustees of The Rotary Foundation recognize your club's efforts and join me in thanking you for your generosity and dedication to the Foundation and its programs.
The Annual Programs Fund is the cornerstone of The Rotary Foundation's giving effort. The money raised by your club allows the Foundation to support the numerous humanitarian and educational programs as well as an infinite number of other projects of international goodwill, that occur each year through the work of The Rotary Foundation.
Please accept the banner as an expression of our gratitude to all the members of your club. May this banner offer an example of what your club has accomplished and serve as motivation to maintain your club's strong support of the Foundation in the years to come.
Again, on behalf of the Trustees, staff, and the many program beneficiaries who may never have the opportunity to meet, please accept our most sincere thanks for your belief in the Foundation and its programs.
Sincerely yours,
