Dear Rotarians,
I wanted to share with you the final results of the Rotary Foundation Campaign for 2014-2015. Our goal was 100% participation and also to have our club reach the $15,000 level. The campaign wrapped up March 31st, and we reached both goals. Every single member of our club contributed, and we had a final contribution total of $15,475. What a tremendous accomplishment for our club. The average donation per member was $143.29 which should rank us among the very highest in our district. The great part about this is that our club will likely see a greater amount come back to us to use for the various projects we work on in the future.
I also want to announce that we have ten members who are brand new Paul Harris Fellow Sustaining Members which means that these Rotarians are working toward becoming a Paul Harris Fellow by contributing at least $100 a year. They will join the other Sustaining Members at the bottom of our weekly bulletin. Once they reach the $1000 level, they will become a Paul Harris Fellow.
Likewise, we have sixteen Rotarians who have either become a Paul Harris Fellow, or who have moved up to another level of Paul Harris Fellow with their contribution this year. Both of these groups are listed below.
I plan to recognize these Rotarians at the May 1st meeting, so if you are on this list, please mark your calendar to be sure and attend the May 1st meeting so you can be recognized for your contribution to the Rotary Foundation and your new Paul Harris Fellow status.
