A while ago I spoke to the Club about Major Donations. We have not actively solicited applications but we have received ten of them, most meeting Rotary standards. We also have available $25,000 in matching funds and we have received $12,500 in donations or pledges from Club Members. My old friend Paul Gagnon sent $500, along with this challenge: ”You know what a skinflint I am and I contributed. Let’s see who can match me.” If we raise $25,000 in the Club we can access all of those matching funds - and we are halfway there. John Boyd, Chair Major Donations |
