23^nd May 2016

Dear Rotarians of District 9780.

The end of this Rotary year is fast approaching with 5 weeks to go.

A week ago our district and individual contributions are down on last year to the Annual and Polio Plus Funds.

Some clubs maybe sitting on Foundation funds for Ride the Bellarine and Film Night proceeds. We need them in ASAP. Same applies to any Foundation Funds clubs still have on their books for disbursement this year.

Any clubs and individual Rotarians who are contributing this year need to act quickly to meet the deadlines. Every Rotarian has been sent an individualised contribution pre-completed form via their club.  

We need to get contributions in a little earlier now as all Rotarians would be aware now, Australia Post is now much slower unless pay premium rates. So we need all Rotarians and clubs to have contributions to me (P/O Box 1027, Portland 3305 with the paperwork) ideally by the end of 1^st week of June, or if is your practice is to send direct to Parramatta by mid-June 2016. Parramatta becomes very busy from mid-June onwards and may not be able to accrue your contributions into this financial (and Rotary) year. They cannot put fund received in 16-17 year back into this year if it arrives too late!

RI exchange for May 2016 is the equal best we have seen for the 15-16 year but, according to Mark Anderson it will go down in June again. So to get the best bang for your Foundation bucks it needs to be processed in May for this year.

Regards
