The Rotary Club of Milton is hosting an information night at the Milton Public Library. All are invited to learn about the Rotary, its mission, and activities. In an open letter to the community they note, “We dare to dream big and we do big things!”
Find out what the Rotary does and how you can become a part of their efforts. A light supper will be served at the Keys Community Room in the library on March 21st at 6:30pm.
You can find the Rotary Club of Milton web site here. Following is the text of their letter to the community:
Dear Friend,
What do jockey Calvin Borel, golfer Jack Nicklaus, anthropologist Jane Goodall, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, musician Itzhak Perlman and actor Jackie Chan have in common? They all personally support Rotary’s efforts to effect positive change locally and internationally.
Bill Gates really respects the Rotary Club of Milton. He is pledging $5,000 to match Milton Rotary’s contribution to Polio Plus, the Rotary International worldwide effort to eradicate polio once and for all, as part of his $200M Challenge.
If you are ready to accept President Obama’s challenge to “win the future”, Rotary is the place. If you want to meet other local professionals, Rotary is the place. If you are looking for an opportunity to make a difference in Milton, Rotary is the place. If you want to be connected to the larger global community, Rotary is the place. If you like the idea of being part of an organization with over 1.2 M members with over 33,000 clubs, Rotary is the place.
We dare to dream and we do big things!
