 Brief Details:
The Bill Huntley Endowment Appeal has been identified by RIBI President David and the 2009/2010 General Council has agreed to it being one of their main Foundation targets. The World Peace Symposium At the World Peace Symposium for three days before the 100th Rotary International Convention Bill's Endowment was the only external funding opportunity displayed during the event, the highlight of which was the address by Archbishop Emeritus and Nobel Laureate Desmond Tutu; Archbishop Desmond went on to sign a tribute to Bill, a document which it is hoped will further the Endowment's aims. The 100th Rotary International Convention During the 100th Convention the Endowment was a key feature of the RIBI display in the Hall of Friendship and attracted considerable interest throughout. The Alford & Mablethorpe contingent joined Audrey Huntley (centre standing) at a tea party organised by the spouses of every RI President present. |
