(Our speaker was President Jim with a presentation on the Rotary International Foundation.)
Our last Rotary Meeting of the Year.
We had one guest, Jim Wollan, from Washburn, Wisconsin, a former resident of Calumet and Lake Linden. A total of 18 Rotarians including our guest were present.
President Lowell called the meeting to order. After lunch, several members donated Happy Dollars. Moreover, some members were fined a dollar for not signing in as they arrived (see picture below).
Our program was presented by President Jim as a DVD show about various functions that are funded and sponsored by the Rotary International Foundation (RIF), projects such as Polio Plus, the massive effort to eradicate the polio virus throughout the world. The more we learn about RIF and it many projects, the more impressed we become.
The CLK Rotary Club has given $30,000 to the Foundation over the years. Presently, we have two 5x5 teams. A 5x5 Team is comprised of five members who pledge to donate $1000 over a 5-year period and at the end of each year one of the five members will be selected to receive a Paul Harris Fellowship. This year, our two teams will each award a fellowship at our 60th birthday party luncheon on January 13, 2010.
Way to go, CLK Rotary!
(A not so subtle reminder to SIGN IN before the meeting begins.)
