German group to receive Rotary Foundation’s first alumni association award

Rotary Foundation Alumni Deutschland, the alumni association in Germany, has been selected as the recipient of The Rotary Foundation’s 2011-12 Alumni Association of the Year Award.

The association’s mission is to maintain and strengthen contact between alumni and Rotary. The group’s more than 270 members organize outbound and inbound seminars for Foundation program participants and regularly meet with Rotarians. They support a variety of humanitarian projects internationally and fund their own Rotary Scholarship through the Foundation every five years.

Representatives of Rotary Foundation Alumni Deutschland will receive the award on 4 May before the 2012 RI Convention in Bangkok, Thailand.
