Our president, Tamara Larson, has issued a fundraising challenge for the matching grant we received for the Neighbours Centre. Friends and members are welcome to join in!
 
We have been approved for a matching grant of $1000 to do a meal project with the Neighbor Centre; $1000 will come from Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue and the matching grant will come from the Rotary District 5370 Charitable Foundation. I have issued a Presidential Challenge to all club members; if we each contribute $25, we will raise $500 for this matching grant. This way, the club will contribute, individual members will contribute and we will have additional funds from the Rotary District 5370 Charitable Foundation. 
 
Giving is truly a personal choice. Should you feel this is something that you wish to contribute towards, your support will be welcomed! Please do not in any way feel obligated. Each member's contribution will be completely confidential. 
 
Should you wish to contribute, you will receive a tax receipt for whatever you choose to donate. Please make cheques payable to the following (cash is acceptable as well): 
 
Rotary District 5370 Charitable Foundation
 
Our next meeting, Tuesday, July 28, will be the deadline to contribute to this project! Bring your contribution to the meeting and give it to Alicja. She will compile all of the individual member contributions and then we will issue a cheque from the club for the balance. 
 
Thank you to all who have participated!
