Great news.! We made our goal!
Checks collected by Sue $1890.
Online giving of $2145.15
Club matching contributions of $2,515 which is almost exactly the $2500 that was budgeted.
Presidents Faustos contribution from his budget of $1275
A grand total of $7825.15 exceeding Fausto's goal of $7,000 for this year.
Nice job everyone. We had 29 Rotarians step up to give money to Your Foundation.
An additional $1,163 was contributed by 4 Rotarians to Polio+.
This will go a long way towards us gaining approval for a District Grant for the Covid-10 Committee.
As a stipulation of membership, each member pledged to make at least a $100 contribution/yr.
There is still time to make online contributions before June 30 at Rotary.org.
Thank you again for all who contributed.

We invite you to make a contribution in any amount to the Rotary Foundation. We have a goal to increase the rate of participation in this year's campaign. Even a $1 will help. We realize that these are difficult times, but the Foundation is responding to the Covid-19 crisis. As a result of social distancing we will be conducting this years appeal remotely.
The Rotary Foundation is a non-profit corporation that supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational, and cultural exchange programs. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world.
The Foundation was created in 1917 by Rotary International's sixth president, Arch C. Klumph, as an endowment fund for Rotary "to do good in the world." It has grown from an initial contribution of US$26.50 to more than US$1billion. It has one of the largest and most Donating to Rotary means clean water and sanitation.

It's quite easy. Make your checks to the Rotary Foundation or even better yet, you may contribute on line directly on the RI website. (link is found on our website home page or at www,https://my.rotary.org/en/donate). Please designate the Annual Fund- Share so funds come back to our District. If you use this method, please let Sue G at (biddsacotreasurer@gmail.com) know about your donation as recording on the RI system will be extremely delayed.
Please make you contributions to Sue G. by the end of April so they may be recorded for President Fausto's year. Under current circumstances checks should be mailed our PO Box 298 in Saco, ME 04072. Just put foundation in the memo area.
As an added benefit, the club will match your contributions up to $100, accelerating your achieving year-after-year total contributions towards the $1,000 mark with the recognition as a Paul Harris Fellow.
Thank you for your consideration.
