Make your Donation to the Rotary Foundation before the end of the Year!

Our goal is for 100% of our members to make a donation to the International Rotary Foundation this year. The easiest way is to go to the Rotary website at myrotary.org and create an account to give online. A $100 donation makes you a 19-20 Sustaining Member. Cumulative donations of $1000 make you a Paul Harris Fellow.

The Rotary Foundation money we give comes back to us in the form of District and Global grants allowing to us to support local projects like the meal packaging, care packages for the homeless, and a new laundry room for Skinner Magnet School.

You can also bring a check made out to the Rotary Foundation to the meeting on Friday and Jennifer will send it in for you.

Service Above Self

Thanks to all the fabulous Rotarians who helped with Bell Ringing last weekend and a special thank you to Jim Otis for organizing and Yolanda Hoffman for creating this photo collage.

Board-2020-2023
