Fly High with Rotary from DG Debbie High June 2017
“June is The Rotary Foundation’s 100th Anniversary”
Rotary All Stars – this month we continue our celebration of The Rotary Foundation’s 100th Anniversary at the Rotary International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia.
Rotary All Stars – together - our Rotarians, clubs and district have far exceeded our total combined club goal contributions to End Polio Now! Thank you and congratulations.
The Rotary Year 2016-2017 combined club / district goal for the Annual Fund is $265,000.
We have NOT met this goal yet - but together we will if we ACT soon.
We will set a new High on ANNUAL FUND contributions with your help.
See the Story – When and Where Do Clubs Send Their Rotary Foundation ANNUAL GIVINGS?
To reach your club’s highest 5-year Annual Fund contribution – you might also consider:
- A Paul Harris Fellow Challenge (if your club has “points” you might match a club member’s contribution to the Annual Fund with points to earn a PHF - $500 dollars and 500 points = a Paul Harris Fellow). Contact District Rotary Foundation Chair Ellison Crider at ellisoncrider@gmail.com if you have questions on how to use your club’s points.
- $26.50 Annual Fund Challenge for every Rotarian in D5930 (an additional contribution of $26.50 to your personal contribution) no later than 11 June 2017.
Which club will be first to meet this challenge?
Let DG Debbie High at DebbieHigh@rotary5930.com and DRFC Ellison Crider know when your club has met this challenge.
- Your own ideas – to meet or exceed your club’s Annual Fund Goal.
Why would we want to meet and exceed our Rotary Year 2016-2017 combined Annual Fund Foundation giving goals this Rotary year?
To ensure, in three years, our clubs can meet and expand your service to your communities through district and global grants Rotary Year 2019-2020, DG Ellison Crider.
Our contributions to The Rotary Foundation - Annual Fund - three years ago, enabled us to Fly High with Rotary Serving Humanity this historic year.
Clubs saw a good return on their investment:
