Week left to give to The Rotary Foundation!

There is only one week left for clubs and Rotarians to give to The Rotary Foundation. Out total District 7600 Rotary Foundation giving is lagging behind last year at this time according to Joy Kline’s “Joy” Report.

Is it enough that we just meet our goals?

Well, that may depend on the integrity of the goals set. Just remember that the amount of monies available for district grants in a given year depend upon the district’s annual fund giving amount three years prior. If ho hum goals have been set and met, then three years later there will be ho hum funds available for worthy district grant.

The same applies for global grants:

District giving three years prior also impacts funds for global grants. The only difference being that at least some unused funds in the World Fund can be rolled over from one Rotary year to the next.

So, make the final 2018-19 Joy Report, Joyful!

Thank you D7600 Rotarians

District 7600 Rotarians are truly a generous lot … thank you!

Because of your generosity our District set a new per capita giving record for the 2015-16 year and a new record for total Annual Fund giving. You are amazing gifts to the world.

thank-you-rotarians

And our generosity continues …

Joy Report Skirt

Joy Kline, our District Annual Fund Chair, reports that the 7600 clubs are already contributing in a big way. Joy recently reviewed the October figures for Foundation giving and found  that we have 15 clubs that are at 33% or higher on their goal—we are roughly a third through the Rotary year.

The Church Hill and Fluvanna Clubs are already exceeding 100% of their goals.

Our district year to date giving is $78,880 as compared to $69,223 as of October 2015.

Joy compiles a very handy Joy report each month.  In January we will begin disseminating the monthly Joy Report, however, if you’d like to see the October report feel free to contact Joy.

Thank you, again Rotarians.

FYI …

Significant functions on My Rotary (rotary.org) will be interrupted at various times during the weekend of December 3-5 as end of year and regular website maintenance are performed.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Excel LadyJoy Kline has just compiled her Joy report,  2015 Foundation Report- Dec , which covers club Foundation giving, grouped by area, through December 31.  These figures will convey the status of each club’s giving vis a vis a club’s giving goals. Clubs should really be at or above 50% towards giving goals or have plans in place for how those goals are going to be accomplished. The Club Foundation Chairs and the Foundation Advocates are key players in helping clubs assess and attain their giving goals.

 

Three or four thoughts for your consideration:

  • District Giving Awareness Campaign  — Article 5 Paul Harris Society  by PHS Chair Bill Stramm has been published and sent to Club Presidents, Club Foundation Chairs, Foundation Advocates and others.  These 5 articles are concise, practical, thought provoking essays on different Rotary Foundation programs and funding.  Suggestion: One or more of the articles may be on target for a given club and help that club hone in on a goal strategy. The Giving Awareness Campaign page at the very top of this blog has a link to each of the five articles.
  • The District Rotary Foundation Committee has identified our resident Bee (aka Jan Rowley)  as a mascot for our publicity campaign of Finish Strong<>Get Ready to encourage club and club member engagement Dana and JanBee at 2015 District Training Assemblyin Foundation giving.  We will be playing on puns such as “Bee a Gift To the World.”  It is fun, funky and has a lot to do with the frequent appearances of our District Foundation Bee throughout the year.  Have some fun with it when you communicate with your clubs.  Suggestion: Wear a bright lemon yellow shirt or sweater when speaking The Rotary Foundation.  A bit of fun is not amiss.
  • The Club Fundraising Analysis, Monthly Contribution Report, Joy Report, Features articles, this blog, and the expert District Rotary Foundation Committee leaders are at your fingertips to assist … just a click, email, or phone call away. Suggestion: Give a copy of the Club Fundraising Analysis or Joy Report to your club president and brief him/her on the information included.  Make it easy for them.

OK, enough for today.  If there is anything, anything…  anyone on the District Rotary Foundation Committee can do to help you perform your role, please don’t ‘BEE’ pi5preeiBafraid to call or email and give us a shout … 804-691-8486 or woodwardcd@aol.com.
