Rotarians
around the world are encouraged to focus on
three key goals for 2005: eradicating polio,
increasing membership to 1.5 million members,
and supporting The Rotary Foundation of RI's
goal of US$100 per member in donations to
the Annual Programs Fund. Once achieved, Rotary
will be more capable of spreading goodwill
far into its next century of service.
Eradicating
Polio
Through Rotary's efforts and those
of partner agencies, including the
World Health Organization, the United
Nations Children's Fund, the United
States Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, and governments around
the world, the world has seen a 99
percent reduction in the number of
polio cases worldwide since 1985.
Fewer
than 10
countries still harbor the poliovirus.
Rotary's polio eradication fundraising
campaign
asked that each club set its own goal
to support the campaign. Learn more

Increasing Membership to 1.5 Million
Members
In order for Rotary to maintain its status
as the premiere service club organization,
it is vital that Rotary's membership continue
to grow. With just more than 1.2 million members
currently, this goal provides an ambitious
challenge to clubs around the world to focus
their efforts on inviting new community leaders
to join the ranks of Rotary service. Learn
more about recruiting
members.
Reaching $100 Per Capita in Annual Giving
To support Rotary's mission, The Rotary Foundation
funds world understanding and peace initiatives
through local, national, and international
humanitarian, education, and cultural programs.
In order to continue and expand the good works
of the Foundation into the next century, the
organization has committed to try to reach
an average of $100 by the centennial year.
