Foundation Dinner
Auction Donation
We are getting down to the final weeks before the District Foundation Banquet. Every year, we ask each club to donate an auction item. This can range anywhere from $100 to priceless. Some examples of priceless items are; a weekend at a hunting lodge, a week at someone’s ski house, dinner with a local star, tickets to sporting events, etc. Smaller items can range anywhere from local talent (paintings, wine, food, golfing, etc) to popular items (headphones, jewelry, ipad). If it is unique or popular, it should sell pretty easy. If your club wants to send a check, we can go and purchase an item for you. The check would need to specifically say “for auction item”.
You've all seen the Rotary emblems projected onto the side of a building! What a great PR tool! Its not that hard to do; all you need is willing partners! For complete instructions on how to light up a building,click here!
World Polio Day is October 24th, to honor the birthday of Dr.Jonas Salk, who led the first team to develop a polio vaccine. One of the special events that Rotary has planned, in partnership with UNICEF, is a "Livestream" event from New York City at 5:30PM our time on Friday the 23rd. We can watch a global status update on the fight to end polio and take part in the conversation. Guests will include Global Polio Eradication Initiative partners, celebrity ambassadors, polio survivors, and others.
There are many ways we can be a part of this moment in history. For example:
Host a viewing party, invite friends and co-workers
Have a viewing party in your office! Its at 5:30 anyway!
Write a letter to the editor of your local paper outlining the successes of Polio Plus
Invite local media folks to watch the event
How about this: A FLASHMOB! Arrange a venue with big TVs and a bar!
