A Paul Harris Designation is Easier Than Ever When You Give in November

This November you can double your accrued points toward a Paul Harris designation. It's simple: 1,000 points/dollars = a Paul Harris.
 
HOW?
Through the end of this month Topeka South Rotary will donate Foundation Recognition points to your name equal to the amount of your donation. Don’t wait. It’s first come first awarded. Hopefully we have enough demand to run out!
 
THE GOAL
When you joined Rotary you learned that the Foundation is a key piece to being a Rotarian and serving those in need around the world. Rotary International’s goal is for every member to donate $100 every year. That means our club must average $100 per member every year.
 
Our club currently has a total of 61 Paul Harris Designees—will you join the ranks or plus yours up?

The event had excellent media coverage. Read the article in The Topeka Capital-Journal here.
