BECOME A ROTARY BENEFACTOR
I have been a member of this Club for twenty years (coincidentally as of this past Monday’s meeting) and just like many opportunities in life, I have just recently learned of the Rotary Benefactor by which to financially contribute to this remarkable organization.
Perhaps an enticing aspect of becoming a Benefactor is making the commitment now but not having to pay up until I pass from this wonderful life…with just a signature on a card, no supporting insurance policy or Will or any other official document (and I have learned that statistically 90% of those that commit, pay up !).
That seems pretty painless I say and for a future one time commitment of $1,000 or more, part of your legacy supports the good work of something you believe in.
So I suppose the question one must ask oneself is… Why not? (The blue and gold medal pendant you receive to compliment your Rotary lapel pin is pretty cool too but then again, I’m not much of a pin guy so…I ask again…Why not?).
No details, no fine print, just your signature on a card (and Hal has plenty of the cards at the office).
We enjoyed the sobering and informative remarks and perspectives of guest speaker Major General David Baldwin which our capable Pulse reporters will expound upon further in this Pulse.
Fellow Rotarians continue to demonstrate their generosity, good fortune and blessings. Thanks to Mary Healy (and I understand Dan McVeigh and Larry Booth) for sponsoring the meeting wherein we learned so much more about the Sacramento Zoo, to Thom Gilbert for contributing to Ludy’s Eddie Mulligan in recognition of his impressive mug and spread on succession planning in the Business Journal, to Allison Otto becoming a Hiker in recognition of her Mt. Tallac summit overlooking Lake Tahoe and the Desolation Wilderness and to Past President Tim Pinkney for becoming a Mountaineer and being blessed to be alive, closely witnessing the tragic and fatal crash at the Reno Air Races this past week.
I am pleased to welcome our 13th new (and returning) member this year, Hanns Haesslein !
Enjoy a terrific week and Strive for your Summits !.
