100% Benefactors

DG Shane Burr recognized the efforts of members of the Rotary Club of South Gwinnett County in his October visit.  On the occasion of DG Shane's visit, the club announced its return to 100% Benefactor status for The Rotary Foundation.   Every member of the Club has agreed to be a Benefactor, naming The Rotary Foundation in his or her will.  South Gwinnett Rotary is the only 100% Benefactor club in District 6910.  DG Shane recognized the new Benefactors whose commitments brought the club back to 100% status.

When South Gwinnett first achieved 100% Benefactor status in the late 1990s, it was one of three clubs in the world to attain the mark.  The Club's 100% participation lapsed several years ago, but was restored this year through the efforts of past DG Rich Panyik, a charter member of South Gwinnett Rotary.  "The Rotary Club of South Gwinnett is again leaving a legacy to help those less fortunate in the world," said Rich. 

DG Shane said, "It was an honor to be able to make this presentation. The Rotary Club of South Gwinnett can be very proud of their commitment to doing good in the world."

President Jack Wilson said, "We're proud of all the Rotarians and their families who have made this commitment to leaving a legacy through TRF."
