There's Still Time to Support the Rotary Foundation
Posted by Kevin Olson
At last week's lunch, Nancy Pettus, past district governor and current district chairperson of the Paul Harris Society, reminded us that no gift is to small in the effort to support the Rotary Foundation's world-wide mission to eradicate Polio from the planet. Applying the slogan of "Doing Good In The World," the Rotary Foundation is responsible for over 2 billion immunizations and 5 million lives saved in this effort.
But, the effort cannot be realized without the financial support of every Rotarian, every year. Make this month - Paul Harris month - the month you put your support behind the mission. For as little as $1 per month, you can be a contributing member; for $25 per month, a sustaining member; or for $1,000, a Paul Harris Fellow.
As President Brendon challenged us at the close of the meeting, 48% of our club participates in someway now. Let's all do our part and get that number well over half the club by the end of the month.
How? As simple as calling Bruce Hawtin's office at 733-4364, ask for Lila. Lila will give you your Rotary membership ID number. With that number, you can fill-out the authorization form and begin the contribution which best accommodates your budget.
