"Fun and Fellowship with Fellow Rotarians and Family"
This past Saturday evening, Rockaway Rotarians and spouses gathered to share some fun, food, and fellowship. Friendly board game competition, conversations, laughter, and tasty treats were the order of the evening that was enjoyed by all in attendance.
"A Rotarian in our district has agreed to match contributions to The Rotary Foundation made by all District 7475 Rotarians up to $25,000. The Rotarian, who asked to remain anonymous, will be making a corresponding donation to The Rotary Foundation for every dollar we raise during the month of December 2018. All donations up to $1,000 per Rotarian to the Annual Fund will be matched by the donor. This will be a $1 for $1 match for Annual Fund similar to The Gates match for Polio, however part of this money comes back to our District. There is no minimum gift. Your gift to the Annual Fund/Share will help fund our District Grant's within Rotary's six areas of focus."
