District 6040 Paul Harris Promotion
 
For the 1st half of Rotary year 26/27, District 6040 is offering an exciting opportunity for anyone who wants to make a donation to The Rotary Foundation's Annual Fund SHARE.
 
The District will match points to dollars 1:1! 
 
If you make an Annual Fund SHARE donation of $500, the District will match with 500 points and you'll be recognized with a Paul Harris Fellowship.
 
If you make a $250 donation, the District will match with 250 points.
 
If you make a $367 donation, the District will match it!
 
If you make a $1000 donation, the district will match with 1000 points and you'll be recognized with TWO Paul Harris Fellowships!
 
The Fine Print: 
  • Points cannot be used to meet your Paul Harris Society obligation.
  • The points program is for Annual Fund donations only.
  • Points will be matched up to 2000 per Rotarian during the promotion.
 
If you'd like to take advantage of this promotion and truly make a difference in the world and in our District, contact me and I'll take care of the paperwork.
