So far five members have donated to the foundation this Rotary year.
The club donations since chartering now stand at $498,922 US so we have $1,078 US to go to go over the top of $1/2 million US in donations.
I have a nice bottle of bubbly for the member who puts us over the top! November is Foundation month but any time is donation time. Whether it is $25 US or greater any donation will count toward the bottle of bubbly. Also I have in my budget over $200 to celebrate at an in person meeting with a glass of bubbly for everyone.
The executive has again passed a resolution to match up to 200 recognition points to members who have never contributed or did not contribute last year.
Just let me know when you contribute and the amount, the exchange rate is 1.27 this month.
The easiest way to contribute is to phone RI toll free at 1-866-976-8279. Other methods are to mail in, use rotary direct payments, benefactor donations, bequests, or give your donation to me made out to The Rotary Foundation Canada and I will process it.
