The Rotary Club of Temple is pleased to announce the start of our November Matching Campaign. Our club will match a member’s contribution to the Rotary Annual Fund up to $250.00 given during the month of November 2017. All amounts given by a member plus the match will count towards the member’s first or next Paul Harris level. A member attains a new Paul Harris level for each $1000.00 given.
For those working on their first Paul Harris level, the Jerry Johnson Testamentary Trust is available to help as well. The Trust will match all contributions given in a Rotary year from $100.00 up to $500.00. If a member donates $250.00, the club will match that $250.00 and provided the member does not have any previous contributions the Trust will match the $500.00 giving the member their first Paul Harris. For more information, contact the Foundation Chair, Richard Schneider, or co-chair, Barbara Bozon.
At our first November meeting on the 9th, members of the Foundation Committee will be distributing documents showing your present giving level as well as your accumulated Foundation Points. Remember the use for the Foundation points: you can use those to give Honorary Paul Harris recognitions to your family members, co-workers, or friends. It takes 1000 points to do so.
During this past year, we have heard the good that Rotary International does on an international level as well as locally. A portion of what is given by our club during this Rotary year comes back to us in three years to use for a local grant project such as this year’s project of the college visits. Payments can be made by check payable to the Rotary Foundation or by credit card.
November is Thanksgiving month and a contribution to RI is a good way to show thanks for all that we have.
