I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.  – Edward Everett Hale

 

PROGRAM NOTES
(notes provided by the inimitable Allan Penwell)

 

November is Rotary Foundation month.  Members of CUSR have continually been active in donating to The Rotary Foundation.  Over the years, our club members have donated just $366.45 short of $100,000 to The Rotary Foundation. It’s not a lot compared to other clubs, but it’s significant in total.  Current club members account for almost $50,000 in donations.

·  A Paul Harris Fellow is a Rotarian who has donated $1,000 to our Foundation.  There are 30 generous members of our club who are Paul Harris Fellows which is 81% of total membership. Our club matches the first $500 of member contributions for the member to become a Paul Harris Fellow.  This is a great way to start.

·  Seven members of our club are multiple Paul Harris Fellows.

·  A sustainer is a Rotarian who contributes $100 each year to the The Rotary Foundation.  In the first four months of this Rotary year, ten of our members are Sustainers.  Last Rotary year, there were 13 of our members who were Sustainers. We need all of you to become Sustainers.  It’s $100 per year or $.27 a day, $1.89 a week, or $8.33 a month.  EREY stands for Every Rotarian Every Year.  It would be nice to have 100% Sustainers in our club.

·  Four of our members are benefactors of the Foundation which indicates that Rotary is in their estate plans. If you are working on estate planning, now is the time to add The Rotary Foundation.

Please consider the Rotary Foundation.
