Your purchase has contributed to The Rotary Foundation, a charity supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians, their friends and contacts who all share the vision of a better world. The Foundation enables Rotary to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace, through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. The images have been carefully selected to reflect the involvement of Rotarians in their worldwide activities. For further information or to enquire about joining us please visit: Have a great year! David Fowler President Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland In the 1990 s when Rtn. John Saxton started a calendar in support of The Rotary Foundation, the first person he recruited to help him was Rtn. Dick Rose, a director of Rose of Colchester Ltd. The firm has printed calendars for 100 years and Dick s expertise contributed greatly to the success of the calendar and raising funds for Rotary s international humanitarian and educational projects. Although Dick passed away we are pleased that Rose Calendars continues to be involved in its production.
