Queen of Hearts
Scott Healy did not draw the Queen — the pot is continuing to grow
Program: Scott Healy - Rotary Foundation
Scott is happy to be the Newark Rotary Foundation Chairperson.Recognize all Paul Harris fellows! Steve Mooney received his Paul Harris Fellow +2! Congratulations and thank you.
November is Foundation month.
You can give to the Foundation in a number of ways — write a check, payable to Rotary Foundation - indicate your preference i.e. Polio Plus, etc. — you can give online and can set regular donations.
Paul Harris Fellow recognition: it is simply a recognition of cumulative giving in $1000 increments. After $10,000 in giving you become a “major donor”
Scott gave some highlighted information regarding the Rotary Foundation – he is happy to send you a copy if you request it.
Questions:
- For a Paul Harris Fellow - you can assign your “points” to other Rotarians so that they can receive a Paul Harris recognition
- See Scott Healy or Norma Reilly to find out what your point level is.
Reminder: Next Meeting: November 17
*Don't forget your filled Wegmans grocery bags!
