It has been a long road and lots of teamwork, but the Rotary Club of McHenry Charitable Foundation is established.
 
The Foundation will have it's own checkbook, as a 501 (c)(3) qualified charitable organization, and has set several categories of giving. The largest giving will continue to be scholarships, with the separate Harry Dean fund funding vocational scholarships. There is also local community giving, which is done on a quarterly application basis, as well as International and special giving. Much more is yet to come from this new Foundation, as well as how to tie our local foundation into the District and International Foundations. Great day for Rotary.
