District 5050 Foundation Dinner - Nov 7th

Interested in attending the District Foundation dinner on November 7th, let our President know of your interest.

This message is going out to the District 5050 Presidents, last year's Past Presidents and the District 5050 leadership team. Attached you will find a flyer to share with your club at meetings, on your club website, in your newsletter and hopefully in an individual email. We would love to see 6 members from each club out to support and receive recognition from our Foundation. It is not a fundraiser but rather acknowledgement of our 58 clubs efforts in our communities and in the world. 

 

As president, please promote the event at your meetings with that goal of 6 members attending.
