POLIO DONATIONS
If every Rotarian in our District would give $5.00, we could raise $10,000 for
Polio. How about having a “Polio Day” in May at one of your club’s
meetings and ask your club members to give $5.00 each for Polio.
(In Memory of PDG Jay Kapner)
We REALLY need your HELP!!!
As an Assistant Governor:
Please contact your area clubs and assist them with the use of their Club
Recognition Points as matches to stimulate giving.
As a Club President:
Please encourage your club members to give. Use your Club Recognition Points as matches to encourage giving. Have a focus on TRF during club meetings for the remainder of the year. You and/or Your Foundation Chair personally contact each club member to encourage their giving to The Rotary Foundation. Examine your club’s budgets for potential sources of giving to TRF. Recognize all members during a meeting who have given to TRF this year.
Make sure your board has given to TRF…to lead by example. Have your Club Treasurer send in the Foundation Funds you have collected already. Please don’t wait until June. As a Presiden Elect: Please assist your President in encouraging you club’s giving.
As a District Leader: Make sure you have given to The Rotary Foundation this year and encourage you club to do likewise. Please give to the Rotary Foundation
