Tonight’s Meeting Program
Part I:
The
Rotary Foundation Donations
You
can make a difference in this world by helping people in need. Your gift can do
some great things, from supplying filters that clean people’s drinking water to
empowering local entrepreneurs to grow through business development training.
The
Rotary Foundation will use your gift to fund the life-changing work of Rotary
members who provide sustainable solutions to their communities’ most pressing needs.
But we need help from people like you who will take action and give the gift of
Rotary to make these projects possible.
When every Rotarian
gives every year, no challenge is too great for us to make a difference. The
minimum gift to The Rotary Foundation is $25.00. An annual $100.00
gift is a sustaining member. Once your donations accumulate to $1,000 you
become a Paul Harris Fellow.
Speaking of Paul Harris Fellowships, President Glenn presented a
Paul Harris Fellow award to Steve Heithecker who has
contributed $1000 to the Rotary Foundation.
If
you have any questions ask Steve.
It
is possible to learn more about The Rotary Foundation on the Rotary web
site.
Your
gift can be made online or by sending Jessica Thorpe a check made out to The
Rotary Foundation to Durham Rotary, P.O. Box 383, Durham,
California 95958.
