Congratulations and thank you to Alan and Jeanette Stanek. Last week District Governor Roxy Orr recognized the Staneks as Major Donors Level 3 to the Rotary Foundation meaning they have donated $50K to TRF. You can read below Alan's motivation for their giving.
"As a Rotarian in my previous District and Club, I was involved with recruiting and interviewing Ambassadorial Scholar applicants. These scholarships have been one of Rotary’s most cherished awards for study abroad and taking Rotary’s and America’s message around the world.
Recently I learned of Dr. Isis E. Mejias who used her scholarship to lead a project to build a gravity-fed water distribution system. After returning from her year abroad she started her Environmental Engineering degree to improve water treatment systems, creating worldwide incentives for water reuse and create awareness of improved WaSH on creating healthier and happier lives. Her example was motivating resulting in my gift.
About three years ago I was counseled by Suburban Rotarian Frank Goldberg to use appreciated stock to set up a Donor Advised Fund in the Rotary Foundation. Yearly gifts to the Rotary Foundation from the DAF and the assistance of the Foundation’s advisors has been very helpful in making this scholarship gift possible. It’s another way one can make a difference in our world."
