We are still seeking a coordinator for service projects, an important part of furthering our club's agenda of Service Above Self. If your heart and hands are all large, you're the one for us!
HERE'S AN IMPORTANT REQUEST FROM OUR OWN O.P.ROTARY FOUNDATION:
The Foundation will be moving to the same fiscal year as the Club in July so we’ll have a short 6 month year at the beginning of 2019. However, we are still doing good work which including the information below.
We have a couple challenges for the club:
After the recent local tornadoes and flooding across areas of Kansas the OP Rotary Club Foundation will:
Match up to $2500 of member donation toward Heart to Heart with a for sure gift of at least $2500. Heart to heart was first on the ground assisting with volunteer efforts and continuing to help volunteer efforts and provide important storage and transportation for incoming donations.
Match up to $2500 of member donation toward the Red Cross with a for sure gift of at least $2500. Gov Kelly has asked fellow Kansans to consider donations to the Red Cross for the important relief efforts they are assisting with here locally and across the state.
In addition,
The Foundation will also match donations up to $3000 toward Polio Plus with a gift of at least $3000. Rotary is 4.5 million short of our $50 million dollar commitment to the eradication of polio and we’ll lose out on matching support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation so the district will also match any donation from our Foundation. It’s tripling your dollars if you consider it's being matched by your Foundation, our Rotary District and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
There are envelopes available from Tim Steele. leave your check at te front desk, or mail it to the Club Foundation. Please consider giving to one or all of these causes.Make sure to include your name and in the memo, where you want your dollars given and matched.
Please write any checks to the OP Rotary Club Foundation so we can get you appropriate donation letters for your giving. Mail to
