Polio Plus - Bill Gates announced at the Rotary meeting in San Diego, California, last week that he will increase his donation by $255 million, making a total of $555 million which RI needs to match by 6/30/2012. Originally they had asked all Clubs in the District to donate a $1,000.00 per year for 3 years for Polio Plus.
Gary Clark has resigned as a member of the Club
A motion was approved
to send the $80.00 from the sale of the noon tickets, the $33.00
happy/sad bucks funds and the $93.00 raised from gift wrapping to Polio
Plus.
Cliff had been approached
by the Canton Club to sell tickets for a Hall of Fame weekend August
6-9, 2009, for which we would receive some of the money.
It was decided not to participate.
The District Conference
will be held April 17th and 18th at the McKinley Grand in Canton.
Our Club has the House of Friendship with a
committee consisting of Kerri, Sondra, Maryann and Bonnie.
Roger, Traci and Bonnie
will meet at 7:00 AM at DND's on 1/29/09 to discuss the
activities/events that the Club is involved with and report back to the
Board with recommendations.
Kerri is in charge of the
membership committee and she is going to send out letters to perspective
new members.
A lunch will be planned- no date certain.
Discussions about
changing meeting to an evening as there are 4 people who will join if we
change from a lunch meeting - no action taken.
Next week's meeting
(2/5/09) will be devoted entirely to talking about the District
Conference and fundraising.
Bonnie will email to everyone about this
meeting.
