Since the beginning of this year, we have seen donations to the Annual Fund of $1,280 with a goal of $7,500. Our PolioPlus Fund contributions are at $285 with an annual goal of $1,250. This gives us the opportunity to show what we can really do as a Club when we have a goal and a deadline. Please consider giving what you can as we make a push to reach our goals and continue to be an example of a successful and active club in District 5970.
One way our members can get the most bang for their buck over the next three months is by taking advantage of the Rotary Rush program going on right now. Through this program, Rotary members can utilize matching funds to reach a first or another Paul Harris.
In other words, for every $1.00 given, 1 point is earned ($100 minimum gift is needed to begin. $500 maximum gift for matching). Your donation plus the match, must get you to the next level.
