Comment from Amy Roberts regarding the contributions from the Top 5 clubs to Rotary International: Make a separate check payable to the Rotary Foundation and mail it to Amy c/o Superior National Bank. That method is preferred . An alternate method is pay the quarterly charge of $50 with your dues. The Club Treasurer and Amy will then ensure the $$ flows to the proper location. Remember, contributions to the Foundation may be tax deductible to the donor.
