Normally an incentive to encourage members to donate to The Rotary Foundation is part of the Annual District Foundation Dinner. This incentive has been in the form of silent auctions, gift basket draws, 50/50 draws and matching Paul Harris recognition points. On average these incentives raise an extra USD $6,500 in donations to The Rotary Foundation.
This year, COVID forced us to go to a virtual gala making it impossible to do the normal fun incentives. Hence, the November Foundation Month Bonanza was created.
I am happy to report that the November Foundation Month Bonanza was a great success!
