Program: Rotary International Foundation Month Kick-off
Amy Norman, PP, offered an over-view before, introducing Jack Rae, our District’s Foundation Chairman.
Our club received the District Governor’s Award -we’ve given over 1 million dollars to the Foundation!
Amy told us our club’s theme this year is “Level-Up 1 and Give Back 2”.
She outlined the Paul Harris recognition levels and encouraged Rotarians to move to the next level from where we are now by donating more funds to ensure the Foundation continues to help those in need.
Currently, our club has 27 major donors, each having contributed $10,000 or more. Anyone who donates by next Tuesday will be placed in the weekly drawing.
You can donate through Club Runner, or preferably, send a check to help save credit card processing fees. Checks should be made payable to Everett Youth Foundation.
To obtain your contribution form: contact Sandy everettrotary.org
