To date, 25 of 49 District 6990 clubs have sold Gates
Challenge Helicopter Golf Ball Drop raffle tickets resulting in $21,889.00
in sales. Less than one week remains until Tuesday, October 28, the
deadline for turning in ticket stubs and moneys to have your sold ticket
numbers transferred to golf balls to be included in the "drop".
The District's obligation to meet the Gates Challenge is to
raise $50,000.00 this year and in each of the next two years. Clearly
it is time to put on the full court press if we are to meet our goal.
If you have raffle tickets sold please don't wait until the last minute to
send them in, please send what you sold now. And, then please make
every effort to sell at least one $25.00 raffle ticket per club
member.
Don't forget the
40,000 Paul Harris recognition points that will be awarded to the top five
clubs in sales per member. Fort Lauderdale Beach hasn't, they are
leading the pack. And don't forget the trip to Argentina , Cartier
watch and weekend at a Florida Hyatt Regency Hotel that the winning tickets
may bring your way. But, as they say: no tickie, no laundry. If
recognition points and prizes are not your bag, your club can take
satisfaction in helping eradicate the dreaded disease polio once and for
all.
After 20 years of hard
work,
we (Rotary and its
partners) are on the brink of eradicating this tenacious disease,
but a strong push is needed
now to root it out once and
for all. It is a window of opportunity of historic proportions. YOUR contribution will
help Rotary match a $100
million challenge grant from the
Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation.
The resulting $200 million
will directly support immunization
campaigns in developing
countries, where polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing
them of their futures and
compounding the hardships
faced by their families.
The PolioPlus Campaign in many areas of the world now includes measles immunization and the distribution of long lasting insecticide treated bed-nets A Call for
