Senate Resolution No. 46.
A resolution to recognize the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation.
Whereas, It is with great respect that the members of this legislative body are proud to join with the citizens of Michigan in celebrating the centennial of The Rotary Foundation; and
Whereas, Arch Klumph’s idea for an endowment fund dedicated to “doing good in the world” planted the seed of The Rotary Foundation in 1917; and
Whereas, The Rotary Foundation is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad; and
Whereas, The motto of The Rotary Foundation is “Service Above Self” and their guiding principles have been the foundation of their values: service, fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership; and
Whereas, Rotary members believe that they have a shared responsibility to take action on our world’s most persistent issues; and
Whereas, More than 35,000 of The Rotary Foundation’s clubs work together to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene, save mothers and children, support education, and grow local economies; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body recognize the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation; and be it further
Resolved, That we celebrate and remember all who have and are currently contributing to the success of The Rotary Foundation.
