As we dive into the new Rotary year, here are suggestions to help you perform your volunteer roles as Foundation Advocates and Club Foundation Chairs.

What to do now

Foundation Advocates … reach out to your Club Foundation Chairs and your partner Area Governors … discuss how you are going to communicate and work together in assisting your clubs

encourage Club Foundation Chairs

Check on your areas and clubs to insure that each club has entered 2015 -2016 Foundation Giving Goals including Polio Plus funds.  14 clubs have not entered any giving goals on Rotary Club Central and an additional 9 have not entered Polio Plus goals. Here is a spreadsheet date July 3, 2015 to check which of your areas and clubs need assistance  2015-16 TRF Club Goals 1.1 (4)

Attend the End Polio Now baseball games in your area by contacting your club ticket master and reserving tickets … July 9 in Richmond and July 20 in Norfolk

Register now for the Foundation workshop on August 1 in Williamsburg by logging on to dacdb.com, selecting Calendar, and scrolling down to the event

And a special request to Club Foundation Chairs …

Coordinate with your President so that a few minutes of each meeting can be devoted in some way to The Rotary Foundation

Try to be nice to the Foundation Advocates … they are a misunderstood, but caring lot
