ANNOUNCEMENTS

November is Rotary Foundation Month

Last weekend at a Rotary Foundation Seminar, Innsbrook Rotary received the District 7600 Award for being the best informed club in the District on Foundation matters.  In addition, we received a $5,000 check for our upcoming 20th Anniversary Project.  Congratulations to all Rotarians!

Today, Past President Stephen Beer walked through the attached example showing the "Financial Impact" of our club's giving on our own club projects.  If you missed the meeting, please review the attachment to see how we turned $22,000 into almost $45,000.

Charles Moncure emphasized that each Rotarian is asked to make a pledge to the Foundation during Nov. using the attached pledge card, which may be returned to him next week, our last meeting of Foundation Month.  You may also simply email him at cmoncure@dominionpartners.com.  Pledges need not be filled until March, 2009.  Also attached is a form which provides for monthly credit or debit deductions.  Should you pursue this, please notify Charles of your annual contribution so that it can be counted towards our club's goal. 

For additional information about the work of the Foundation, consult http://www.rotary.org/en/AboutUs/TheRotaryFoundation/Pages/ridefault.aspx.

Every Rotarian, Every Year.
