2013-2014 Rotary Giving

We are just over a month from the end of the 2013-14 Rotary Year. Please see the link to the attached Club Contribution Report. From it you can learn how your club is progressing toward your Rotary Foundation Annual Giving Goal.

The report will show you that 12 clubs are under $10 per member while 24 are over $100 + 4 are over $200 + 5 are over $300 & one is over $700! If your club is listed with giving amounts less than you expected, please check to see if your Club Treasurer is still holding a check which should be sent to The Rotary Foundation.

There is still time for you to make a personal donation by mail or on-line at www.rotary.org/myrotary. To be included in 2013-14, mailed checks must be postmarked prior to June 30 and on-line donations are due by midnight June 30.

Also regarding the Polio Giving Report. Our District's minimum giving benchmark is $100 per member per year to the Annual Fund (which supports the educational and humanitarian grants for our clubs' service projects) and $20 per member to PolioPlus - Rotary's worldwide Polio Eradication Initiative. At a very minimum, we ask every club to make some donation to PolioPlus each year in addition to their Annual Fund contributions.

Please let me know if you have any questions. And Thanks for your support of Our Rotary Foundation!
