PRESIDENT BOB noted that he had received a letter from District Governor BILL HATFIELD indicating that the District’s goal for contributions to the Rotary Foundation is only 54.5% complete - $65,400.00 toward goal of $120,000.00. Governor BILL noted that if each Rotarian in the District would contribute an additional $20.00 toward his/her Paul Harris Fellow (an initial contribution of $100.00 and completion of the $1,000.00 in ten years) or Paul Harris Sustaining ($100.00 contribution) award, this goal could be met. DON’T FORGET THIS SPECIAL WORLD COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMITTEE (Committee) PROJECT: The Project, in cooperation with three Addis Ababa, ETHIOPIA Rotary Clubs (RC), is the construction of 100 light shelters to house 500-600 individuals and feed them. This will be a program by DAVID BOUGH, Chair, World Community Service Committee, Tuesday, June 22, 1999. DAVID LANDGREBE, Lafayette Foundation Treasurer, reported last night at the Club Board of Directors meeting that $1,475.00 had thus far been contributed to this Project. The amount raised by the Club will be matched by a BILL HATFIELD District 6560 fund and hopefully by a Rotary International (RI) matching grant which would permit contributions to apply toward a Paul Harris Fellow (PHF) award or PHF Sustaining Membership. Checks should be made payable to the Lafayette Rotary Foundation and note in the lower-left hand corner that it is for the Ethiopia Project.
