SPEAKER: Tom Harbaugh presented about the Rotary Foundation. The Club has a strong history of supporting the Foundation. We have 70 Paul Harris Fellows and several multiple Paul Harris Fellows.The Foundation continues to do great work over their 100 years, particularly in helping to lead the effort to eradicate polio worldwide. Since 1985 new polio cases have been reduced from 365,000 per year (in 122 countries) to just 21 new cases in three countries so far this year. In this 100th year of the Foundation it is suggested that each Rotarian worldwide make a donation in the amount of $26.50 (or more). This amount is the amount of the first check that was given back in 1917 to start the Rotary Foundation on its way to being one of the world's largest and best run worldwide charities. Our club goal is to have 100% participation in this effort. It is very easy to donate and it can be done in one of two ways:

1) go to  https://www.rotary.org and click on the Give button. You can make a one-time credit card donation or you can setup installments in either monthly, quarterly or annual increments. You will have to set up a User name and Password on the Rotary site so that the donation gets credited to your Foundation account 

2) As an alternative, you can write a check payable to Rotary Foundation and give it me and I will be sure it gets sent to the Foundation and credited to your account.

If you decide to make a donation online please let me know so that I keep track of our progress and also follow-up to be sure the donation is properly credited to your account.
