Thanks to another one of you who, TODAY, took the member challenge and donated to the Rotary Annual Fund. Remember..... Sunrise Rotary will match your Paul Harris donation 2:1 between now and December 31st with a minimum donation of $100!!For some of you, this will help you towards your initial Paul Harris and for others it will help you get to your next $1000 level. The Club will use its discretion and designate accrued PH points to help those who donate, but haven't yet received a Paul Harris, to become a Paul Harris Fellow for the first time. Simply sign in to myrotary.org (or create an account if you haven't already) and then click on "DONATE". If you need help, contact Jean, Janet or Teresa.
