Help us celebrate the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation!

On Friday, September 30, 2016, our district will be celebrating the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation in The Crystal Ballroom of The Lerner Center, located at 410 S. Main Street in Elkhart, IN.  Our keynote speaker is the entertaining Past Rotary International President Richard King.  Enjoy an evening of fine dining, fun, and raising money.  Our ambitious goal is to raise $100,000 so Rotary can continue "doing good in the world"!

 

The Foundation was started 100 years ago at the Kansas City Convention with $26.50.  It was the change leftover from the gift purchased for the outgoing RI President, Arch Klumph.  We're going to have fun with that amount, using it for various pricings, like the cost of the dinner, which is $126.50.  $66.50 of that cost will count as your contribution to The Foundation from this event.

 

Instead of the usual Silent Auction, we will have a friendly competition to "Fund the Cause" for District Governor Ranjan Kini's signature project, for Polio Plus, and for the Annual Fund.  So the money you would normally spend on a silent auction item now can be used toward this.  There will be a LIVE auction however, so think big.

 

Social Hour:  6:00 pm  (EDT)     Dinner and program  7:00 pm  (EDT)     Business Attire
