After a very successful Foundation Dinner in November (Thank You! for your Club's donations and participation) we are poised to finish this Rotary year strong!
At PETS last year I suggested focusing on two things - asking every member to commit to $144 (EREY per capita goal for the District) and use Rotary Direct as the tool for giving.
Rotary Direct is an easy way to ensure your members' donations to The Rotary Foundation are regularly processed, making it easy to fulfill a goal or commitment to being a Paul Harris Fellow, a Paul Harris Society member, or simply supporting The Rotary Foundation.
The Challenge
On February 1st, I'll run a report of all Rotary Direct giving for the district. I'll run the report again on July 1 and the Club with the largest per capita gain in members using Rotary Direct for AT LEAST $12 per month (or $144 per year) will win a fabulous prize.
What's the prize?
You'll pick the date and your favorite local watering hole and I'm buying the first round for all members of your Club who show up! Socialize and celebrate - what could be better?
I may drag along some big shots from the District and maybe have some give aways or Rotary swag. Of course the real winner here is The Rotary Foundation and funding District grants with recurring donations to The Rotary Foundation Annual Fund.
Fire up your Clubs to finish the year strong and let's look forward to a fun Happy Hour this summer!

PARKVILLE ROTARIANS UNITE!
Parkville Rotarians! We've got this! As your Foundation Chair I'd love to see everyone donate something towards our goal. Please use the Rotary Direct method Dan noted above or give your donation to Joe Carroll and he will submit it for you.
Our Third Thursday Socials would be the perfect time to win this prize!
Thanks,
Dalyn Novak
Foundation Chair
