ROTARY FOUNDATION CHALLENGE Off to Great Start ... by Bill Buterbaugh Our Club’s Rotary Foundation and Polio Plus Challenge is off to a tremendous beginning as the club is already at 20% of its Rotary Foundation goal of $5,100 and 43% of the way toward the $2,000 Polio Plus goal for this Rotary year. The “Challenge” is to reach these two goals by World Polio Day which is October 24.  “The Skaneateles Rotary Club has always been extremely generous when donating to The Rotary Foundation,” says Terry McCormick, Rotary Club President. “So this year we’ve added a slight twist to make reaching the goals a bit more of a challenge. While the dollar amount goals are the same, we are trying to reach the goals by World Polio Day instead of using that day to kick off our club’s effort. If we meet the challenge, Ed Evans and Bill Buterbaugh will be working with The Sherwood to create a special, celebratory dinner for all members." But the clock is ticking. There are now only three weeks left to get your contributions in – if you have not already done so – before the challenge deadline. So… As our club has done in the past, in addition to receiving the Paul Harris Fellow points for your contribution, our club will make a $50 match for each of the first 30 contributors of $100 or more this Rotary year. Additionally, Ward is giving 100 of his points for any contribution of $100 or more to Polio Plus. This makes for a potential 250-point bonanza for Polio Plus donors. That helps make it easy to achieve your first or next Paul Harris Fellow milestone. Giving to The Rotary Foundation is NOT a club requirement, but we hope you can send $5, $10 or $25 to help make this a total club effort. Please make your checks out to The Rotary Foundation. If you are designating the contribution for Polio Plus, please write “Polio Plus” in the memo line of the check. If you want to give to both the Foundation and Polio Plus, you will need to write two separate checks. Please send all checks to: Bill Buterbaugh, 103 East Genesee Street, Skaneateles, NY 13152 Let’s get everyone participating to help meet this challenge. |
