This email is sent out at the request of Club President Karen Loeb..
District 5450 and DSE Rotary invites you to hear Rotary International President Barry Rassin speak on the 2018-2019 Rotary Theme "Be an Inspiration." President Rassin will also give an update on Rotary’s polio eradication efforts.
Our Club has reserved three tables (maximum of 30 attendees) for dinner. On a first come basis, we will accept reservations to sit at these tables, and the Club will sponsor a portion of your dinner. DSE members can attend for $35 each; guests are $65 each. The Club will bill you for your dinner the last week in January. No-Shows will pay the full $65 dinner fee.
The dinner will definitely sell out as it has in the past three years. You need to register by Saturday, January 19. After that date, our unreserved seats will be released to other Rotarians in the district. The menu selection is Beef Ribs, Salmon or Vegetarian. If you don’t select a menu choice, the default choice becomes Vegetarian. The dinner location is unchanged from 2018.
You can register one of two ways:
- Click on our ClubRunner email link at the bottom of this note or in the Event Section of www.DSERotary.org, in the lower right-hand event box. You will go to the standard club event registration page and form. Just add your guest’s name and both menu selections and you are done; or
- If you wish to donate by January 15th and enter the Top Nine Polio Donors contest below, you can register at the District website at https://Rotary5450.org. Click on the News & Event link at the top of the page and select Upcoming District Events. Move down the page to the 25 Jan 2019 RI President’s Dinner link and click on that line. When you get to the Payment Option, do not enter your credit card information. Instead, click on Pay by Check. The Club will pay the full amount for you and your guest, and then bill you for the non-subsidized portion.
The event is a fundraiser for the End Polio Now campaign, and all net proceeds from the dinner and additional contributions will be matched $2 to $1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. We are asking that everyone make an additional donation to EndPolio at the dinner. You will receive individual and club credit for your donation. The top 9 Polio Donors (between 12/15/2018 & 1/15/19) will be eligible to win special items donated by Grant Wilkins before his death. The top 5 donors AT the Dinner will also win an additional Paul Harris Level and President Rassin’s thanks.
