If everyone of us sells two tickets, this can
raise $105,000.
WE CAN DO THIS!!
This fundraiser is a top priority! We need to sell
tickets to meet the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They donated $355
million in the last two years. Of that amount $200 million is a matching
grant for polio eradication. Our district is expected to donate $300,000.
We have
raised $195,000 towards this goal to date. The balance is $105,000 yet to be raised. If the 2,100 district’s club members can all sell just 2
tickets this year at $25 per ticket, we’d sell 4,200 tickets.

DID YOU MISS A MEETING ‘CAUSE YOU
WERE AWAY?
Our club goal is 100% Attendance!
If you miss a
meeting, it can be made-up within 2 weeks, before or after, of the
missed meeting date.
For online
make-ups:
Visit www.ri6990.org to find a club
to make up an absence.
Attendance
credit for a 30-minute interactive club Web site activity offers an
alternative to making up a meeting at another club.
To
earn this credit, Rotarians log on to the site, read up on a range of
subjects, post comments, & submit a form to the club secretary.
How to do a Make-Up On-Line via Rotary eClub One?
Perfect attendance is now possible for every Rotarian with
computer access. Rotary’s eClub One is a full-service online charted Rotary
Club. Meetings operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What an easy way
to make up for a meeting that you have missed! During the last Rotary year,
Rotary eClub One welcomed more than 120,000 visitors from 161 countries. Of
these, about 800 per week participated in one of eClub One’s meeting
programs and applied for make-up credit.
Here’s what you have to do
to earn make up credit. Go to http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/eclub_list.pdf
It is mandatory that you spend at least 30 minutes on the
website for qualify for a make-up credit. (Remember Rotarians are guided by
the principles of the 4 Way Test).
1. Read a variety of current articles in the programs
section and/or choose articles from the Archived Programs list and/or information
from the Avenues of Service pages. You will be required to answer
questions. There is space on the makeup request form for up to three
articles to be reviewed, however you will need to read more than three to
meet your 30 minute visit obligation.
2. At the end of your 30 minute visit, click on
Make-up Request Form from the drop-down menu at the top of the page OR the
bottom of each make-up program.
3. Read the Makeup Request Form carefully, and follow
instructions. The form will appear once you press the SUBMIT button (one
time only) and an email copy will be sent to the email address you proved.
This can be forwarded to your club secretary so your attendance records are
properly updated.
Rotarians can also
designate eClub One as their home club.
Members in eClub One are
usually experienced Rotarians who are unable to belong to a traditional
club because they reside in a remote location or they are engaged in a
demanding travel schedule. Those applying for membership in eClub One must
provide an endorsement from their current District Governor, current Rotary
club President, along with letters of reference from two Rotarian
colleagues of their current club..
eClub One has standard requirements for memberships,
including charges for dues and administrative fees. Participants also must
be willing to take part regularly in the Rotary eClub One community by
taking on tasks and responsibilities. Members are required to also have
regular access to the Internet and be willing to acquire the necessary
skills to participate in the activities of Rotary eClub One.
Rotary and eClub One are on the cutting edge of the
technology age. How this evolves will only be determined by periodic
evaluation and the involvement of its members. For today, however, it is an
outstanding tool for Rotarians to makeup missed meetings and keep in touch
with Rotary happenings throughout the world.
