A big THANK YOU to every Rotarian in the District for the success of our recent District Foundation Celebration Event on May 22,2021.  Our 21st annual Foundation fundraising and recognition event was a big success. 

 

The recognition of the Clubs and the "People of Action" District Grant project video went very well.  This year, we also added a second video with a very good update on our District Global grant projects.

 

On May 22, at our Foundation Celebration we raised approximately $70,000 for the Annual Fund/Share through Rotary Club sponsorships, individual ticket registrations, silent auction proceeds and raffle ticket sales.  The final figure will be determined after expenses.

This email is directed to all 6040 Rotarians relating to the annual business meeting. 

 

According to the Rotary International Bylaws, we need to have a District business meeting every Rotary year to present the Immediate Past District Governors financial report, the minutes from last year’s annual meeting as well as the District Governor Elect’s budget for the 2020-2021 Rotary year.  This would normally happen at a District  Assembly but do to Covid restrictions, we moved our Annual Foundation Dinner from the fall to a Zoom Foundation Celebration in May. So, we will hold this meeting via ZOOM as a virtual meeting which Rotary's board has approved for all Rotary business during this pandemic on June 22 at 6pm. 

 

The attached documents include IPDG Marc Horner’s financial report from the 2019-2020 year.  Also, attached is the budget for Rotary year 2020-2021 from District Governor-Elect David McCaughey. You will also find attached the Rotary District 6040 proxy certification document that explains the number of votes based on club membership and the voting procedure.

 

If the club President cannot attend they can identify a proxy who will vote in their stead.  The Club President and Club Secretary need to certify who will serve as the Proxy for your club by sending Johnah Terbovic the proxy statement; via email, with the Proxy's name on it to rotary6040office@gmail.com
