Rotary Foundation – All are reminded that our club subscribes to the Rotary initiative of “Every Rotarian, Every Year,” whereby all club members are encouraged to donate $100 each year to the Rotary Foundation. To help meet this goal, members are asked to contribute $50, and the club will match it with another $50. The simplest way to make your donation is through the Rotary International website (rotary.org); just click on “GIVE” and follow the prompts. If you’d rather write a check, or have any questions about donating to the Rotary Foundation, please contact Jim Kanzler (jim@meta5.com) or Frank Seibert (fjseibertcca@hotmail.com).
 
ROTARY FOUNDATION NEWS FLASH — If received before the June 30th deadline, Rotary District 7255 will match all member donations up to $500. If you’d like the additional RI credit, there’s still time to boost your donation – contact Frank or Jim NOW.
