Hello Rotary Presidents, Treasurer, and Foundation Chairs,
I would like to discuss with you EREY (Every Rotarian, Every Year). To become a member of EREY, all a Rotarian has to do is donate at least $25.00 per year to the Rotary Foundation Annual Fund. I hope that will be easy for all the Rotarians in our district. For a Rotary Club to become an EREY Club is when all the members of the club donate at least $25.00 to the Annual Fund. The next honor is for a Rotarian to become a Sustaining Member. If you donate at least $100.00 or more in a Rotary Year, you become a Sustaining Member. A Sustaining Club is when the average of all members donates at least $100.00 per year to the Annual Fund.
I would like to try to get many of your members to donate via Rotary Direct. Rotary Direct is by far the easiest and most efficient way to make donations to TRF, as well as the best way for Rotary International to keep track of contributions to The Rotary Foundation. I will try to cover more details about Rotary Direct in my message next month.
Yours in Rotary Service (YIRS),
Bill Orr
District 5330 Annual Fund Chair
