Thank you for your work helping to make this another successful year!
Rotary Foundation Rotary Rush - Check your email for details from the District on the annual Rotary Rush campaign for the Rotary Foundation! For the months of December (2024), January (2025), and February (2025) only, a generous donor is offering to match each dollar donated with an additional Paul Harris Fellow point to help a member reach their first (or additional) PHF recognition. However, to qualify, your donation plus the point-match must get you to the next PHF level (next $1,000 level). In other words, for every $1.00 given 1 point will also be donated in your name. A $100 minimum cash gift is required by TRF to begin this match process, and we have set a $500 maximum donation eligible for up to a maximum 500 matching points. Any additional points (up to 500) will count towards your next level).
