Mike Heigel of Grand Island Rotary received a pin, certificate and commemorative book at the Jan. 18, 2017 dinner meeting to acknowledge his reaching a second, higher level of giving to the Rotary Foundation; the Paul Harris +1 Pin. His contributions, plus credit for extra giving by Grand Island Rotary, brought him to the $2000+ giving level. The book “Doing Good in the World” documents 100 years of The Rotary Foundation and its service to humanity. Recently famous for its drive to Eradicate Polio from the Entire World, The Rotary Foundation does thousands of projects; locally making grants for: College Scholarships and improving literacy with school books in Niagara Falls, and internationally: funding for providing clean water wells from Haiti to Ethiopia, in addition to Polio Eradication! As the grant-making charitable arm of Rotary world-wide, the Foundation provides the funds for both local and far distant projects, helping individual Clubs make a meaningful difference at home and abroad.
