Congratulations! The first quarter of the year is complete! Now is a great time to stop and check your goals – how much have you accomplished and what do you have to do to move forward.
Giving
Annual Fund: As of Sept 30, the clubs in this district have given a total of $83,800 to the Annual Fund. That means we are behind the curve. Our target number for the Annual Fund in the first quarter is $100,000. Right now there are 32 clubs that have not sent in funds. Take a moment and ask your club Treasurer to cut the check to the Foundation for money that has been donated so far.
PolioPlus: Great job! So far the clubs have sent in over $33,000 to the PolioPlus fund. That is right on target! Thank you very much!
Recognition: So far this year we have one new Benefactor and three new Major Donors. Thank you and Wow!!
