Matching Funds - Double the Impact
Through our giving, Rotarians change lives.
November is Foundation month. We ask that you consider the Rotary International Foundation when planning your year end donations. The club will match your gift dollar for dollar up to $300. This means that your next Paul Harris Fellow will cost $700 instead of $1000.
Please see Don Horton at donaldjhorton@att.net if you are interested in taking advantage of the matching funds.
Together we are keeping our promise to make this word a better place. ❤️ #proudtobearotarian
