ImageThe aim was to have 100 District Centurions ‘join-up’ in the first 100 days of this Rotary year - by Monday, 10th October 2011  which is the10th day of 10th month.  161 District Rotarians and Friends of Rotary joined in the challenge from 32 of the 40 Clubs.  Thanks to Club Coordinators and everyone who joined the District Centurions to make this a success.
 
In our District, the Centurion Program was the idea of the late PDG Peter Walsh of Wagga Wagga Rotary Club and keeps alive his initiative for our support to The Rotary Foundation.  Donations to the D9700 Centurion program are a personal contribution of AUD $100 to The Australian Rotary Foundation Trust.
 
Anyone can join the District 9700 Centurion movement.  Donations made through the Trust are tax deductible and count towards personal Paul Harris Fellow recognition.  When Centurion contributions are submitted through District Centurion Chair PDG John Egan, a Tax Receipt is issued by the Trust and mailed direct to the contributor.
