Polio Plus Challenge
During her official visits DG June Cathcart asked everyone to tug at their heart strings to support Rotary's final push to eradicate Polio from the face of the world. The Treasure Box she passed around during her visits to each Club has collected over $18,000.
The Incentive - Matching Funds for Polio Plus Partners:
To help meet the significant and ongoing funding needs, RI has extended a Challenge to all Rotarians, clubs, and districts to become 2007-08 Polio Plus Partners.
Now here's a touch of Rotary MAGIC: The Trustees of The Rotary Foundation recognize the significant funding needs for Polio Plus Partners and will continue to match both cash and District DesignatedFunds (DDF) contributions US$.50 for every US$1.00.
RI is asking for 100% participation from all Rotary districts to allocate a minimum of 10% of their available District Designated Funds (DDF) for Polio Plus Partners. This amount will be combined with total cash contrubtions and TRF matching funds so that Distrcit 5550 will be able to contribute even more funds to support a Polio Plus Partners Project.
Yours in Rotary,
June Arbon-Cathcart
Governor 2007-2008
