Interesting tidbit of information: There are around 1500 youth involved in 61 Interact Clubs in our Division.
Rotary Lookout: Please visit the Rotary Lookout . The makeover is wonderful.
Coffee Challenge: Brenda presented some interesting facts about our coffee challenge.
Donating the cost of two $2 coffees per week equals a total donation of $208 (donation is applied towards a Paul Harris Fellow).
This year we donated $3,880.70 into the coffee tin (doesn’t account for the money donated on-line).
We currently have 13 Paul Harris members (some multiple donors ).
Half of $208 donation goes towards the Polio Fund.
Foundation giving is a goal for citations.
