The Rotary Foundation_Fnding your projects by PDG Mike MontgomeryPhill Briscoe
One hundred years ago, RI President Arch Klumph proposed an endowment that would “do good in the world.” The Rotary Foundation was born! ~ So... how are we doing in that “doing good” business? In a word, magnificent!

Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react?
When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so.
The Summit offers you a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the transformative change in Maine that we’ve seen these gatherings produce. We encourage you to consider the value of being actively involved in growing Maine’s economy and protecting the reasons we choose to live here.

Changes in technology, health, transportation and a growing number of home based services (grocery delivery, Uber, home healthcare, etc.) are shifting the way that people are thinking about spending their golden years. This is especially true for Boomers. They don't want to live or spend their time and money the way their parents do. They are looking for non-traditional alternatives and different ways of living. Presented at the Leading Age Colorado Annual Conference, experts talked about the changes that are taking place, and how you can shape your community and service offerings to accommodate this next demographic wave.
