From Don McCall -The RI Foundation

For more than 100 years, the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International has helped Rotary members advance the mission of Rotary by advancing world understanding, goodwill, and peace by improving health, providing education, and improving the environment, and alleviating poverty. In 1957, the Rotary Foundation established special recognition known as Paul Harris Fellows to encourage and show appreciation for substantial contributions of $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation.

For many, a $1,000 contribution in a lumpsum can seem like a lot of money, so if you would like to become a Paul Harris Fellow by gradually contributing a $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation, our club is organizing Paul Harris Groups within our club membership. You can join a Paul Harris Group by contributing $100 each quarter through the quarterly dues bill you receive from Bob. Thus, in two and a half years, you will have contributed $1,000 and have become a Paul Harris Fellow. Please Don at dmccall@lethertcpa.com know if you would like to join a Paul Harris Group>

One 3 minute presentation at each meeting would be the goal.
Thanks in advance.
