 On behalf of the Rotary Annual Fund yearly campaign, I want to thank the 23 clubs that have stepped up and given even more to the annual fund this year. You have taken Governor Frank’s suggestion to use some of your club meal fees and direct them to the Annual Fund. Unfortunately, there are 28 clubs that are under giving to date to the Annual Fund, and the end result - we are down $22000 from last year. The result in three years - our District Designated Funds (50% of what we gave comes back to us in 3 years) will be greatly impacted leaving us with less money (DDF) to do good in the district and the world through District and Global Grants. We want to reach our goal for this year and next. While we understand the changes in the world this year, we are still hoping you can donate any amount. Realizing that it may have gone off your radar with all that's NOT going on. Here's our reminder call for help. Our goal this year was also for EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year) to donate $25 USD to the annual fund. We hope it is yours too. ROTARY DIRECT: A SEEMLESS WAY TO DONATE TO THE ROTARY FOUNDATION: Go to MyRotary and enroll in Rotary’s recurring giving program, Rotary Direct, which makes giving easy, fast, and secure. You can schedule a monthly, quarterly, or annual donation that empowers Rotarians to change lives in communities around the world. Please remember many employers as well will match your gift to The Rotary Foundation. Why you may ask? Many employers know how respected The Rotary Foundation is in the world. Did you know in 2020 The Rotary Foundation received (for the 13th year in a row) the highest 4 stars from the Charity Navigator? I have enjoyed presenting to many clubs this past year on The Rotary Foundation, I am still available on very little notice if you would like me to present to your club how the Rotary Foundation does good in the world locally and internationally. To get a speaker for your club on why we love OUR Rotary Foundation, contact Sandi Chard at sandichard@gmail.com. | ||
