Bronwyn said in her presentation: "When US$1000 is donated to this Charity, which is rated number 1 in the world with its exemplary acquittal procedures and minimal administration expenses, we make a wise decision.
We provide clean water for people we will never meet, we provide economic opportunities for the poorest of the poor, we educate children who would have had no other chance of schooling, we give mothers safe conditions to have their babies, we give outstanding candidates with humanitarian intent the opportunity to pursue scholarships, and we contribute to peace in Rotary`s name.
District 9800 holds this individual in the highest regard that on all Clubs and Rotarians behalf $1,000 USD has been donated to our Charity of Choice. One that Charity Navigator gives the highest, a 4-star rating to, the Rotary Foundation. So Hugh Bucknall would you please come forward and accept a Paul Harris triple sapphire recognition on behalf of the 2250 Rotarians in the 64 Clubs in our District.
Your planning, persistence and commitment in achieving the 2023 World Convention has been outstanding. More than that you have drawn all of us in to the excitement and anticipation.
Not content to rest lightly, you are now stirring us up to action with 2021 just around the corner. Hugh, in this year of “Be the Inspiration”, you are one for us."
