    • EVERY ROTARIAN EVERY YEAR:

      In support of the Annual Programs Fund of Rotary International, 85 Rotarians have given a total of $9,169. We are now at 37% and $39.86/capita. The Rotary year runs from July 1-June 30, so we have time to improve both our percentage participation and our per capita gift. The District 6560 Conference will be held in Muncie April 6-9, and thermometers from all clubs will be on display, so if you could make your contribution by the end of March it would be very helpful.

    Board of Directors Meeting Highlights:
    • The Board of Directors decided to put out pledge cards asking for donations to cover first the remainder of the $4,100 for the Haiti project and once those funds have been pledged use the remainder of the pledged funds for the San Salvador project. Club members are to be given the opportunity to designate their donation to either project on the pledge card.
    • Community Service Projects
      • a. National youth sports program - the career option has enough support to go forward and will continue to be discussed.
      • b. The teachers' warehouse project had support and was discussed by the board. A feasibility study for this project was determined to be the next step.
    • Fundraising brainstorming - A golf outing was suggested and discussed. Boxed Chicken to be sold prior to home college football games or the Grand Prix was considered a real possibility.
