Hello Northbrook Rotarians. Here are the details you need to successfully sell our raffle tickets:
ASK people! Yes, it really is that simple. Those people might include neighbors, friends, relatives, colleagues, etc.
Sign up to sell at various locations around town. Thanks to the efforts of Helen Rivkin, we have five places that will welcome Rotarians. The details on when and where, and how to sign up, are included in the following link:
If you are a corporate (group) member of our club, the request to sell a minimum of $100 worth of tickets is for all of your sales combined, not for individual corporate members.
Posters advertising our event have been put up around town, and more will go up in the next few days. People recognize this annual event as something good for Northbrook.
By next Tuesday, if not sooner, you should all receive a simple spreadsheet where you will record your sales by cash and check. (You do not need to record the on-line sales, that will be done automatically.) That spreadsheet should be submitted to Sandy Frum either electronically on at a Tuesday meeting. Please do this every week if you have sales that week, as we cannot expect Sandy to input thousands of ticket buyers on the day before the race!
That should do it for now. If we all pitch in, we can make this event a huge success.
Rotarians are great about sharing their own experiences in Rotary. But just for background it helps to have the “facts” so when you meet those who would benefit – we can connect them with the part of Rotary that works for them. Rotary has a long history. Use this fact sheet to keep updated about all Rotary has to offer.
FACT SHEET
Rotary unites people from all continents and cultures who take action to deliver real, long-term solutions to our world’s most persistent issues. Through volunteering, our 1.2 million members make lifelong friendships that transcend political and cultural boundaries and foster global understanding and respect.
In addition to our 35,000 clubs, Rotary also offers expanded service opportunities including: Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self. There are more than 20,300 Interact clubs in 159 countries. Rotaract clubs bring together young adults, starting at age 18, to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service. Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision.
Each year, Rotary members invest hundreds of millions of dollars and countless volunteer hours to promote health, peace and prosperity in communities across the globe.
Rotary members take action by providing access to clean water and sanitation, supporting education, preventing and treating disease, saving mothers and children and growing local economies. Ending polio For more than 30 years, Rotary has been the driving force in the effort to end polio worldwide.
Alongside our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we have achieved a 99.9 percent reduction in polio cases, with less than 200 cases of wild polio reported in 2019 compared with 350,000 a year in the late 1980s. Our members have contributed $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect more than 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease.
Today, just two countries continue to report cases of wild poliovirus, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Rotary remains committed to ending polio, and will raise $50 million per year, with every dollar to be matched with two additional dollars through a matching agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. History For 115 years, Rotary members have been addressing challenges around the world. It started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities. Rotary’s name came from the group’s early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of its members.
