Last year Alpharetta Rotary’s support of the Rotary Foundation was very strong. Every club member contributed making us an EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year) club. Our per capita giving was $362 and our total giving for the year was over $30,000. It is with this base of Foundation support that our Club ranks as one of the top Clubs in District 6900 in Foundation contributions
 
A $1,000 contribution (or a combination of cash and recognition points) to the Rotary Foundation will result in you being made a Paul Harris Fellow.  Currently 68 of our 91 members are Paul Harris Fellows and 21 of the 68 are multiple Paul Harris Fellows!
 
Every Rotarian who contributes to The Foundation receives one (1) Foundation Recognition Point for each dollar donated.  The same is true for our Club which has a current balance of over 10,000 FRPs.  These Foundation Recognition Points can be used to help others become Paul Harris Fellows.  If you have 1,000 Foundation Recognition Points you can name an individual a Paul Harris Fellow. 
 
President Karen Nolan has authorized our 2014 Matching Points Campaign with the use of the Club’s Foundation Recognition Points in conjunction with the new District 6900 Kathy Myers Points Campaign. Kathy was a member of North Fulton Rotary and left a very generous gift to the Foundation. The campaign goal is to help raise more money for The Rotary Foundation, aid you in becoming a PHF or PHF+, and further our goal of becoming a 100% Paul Harris Club.  In the near future you will receive an email message that will explain more about the campaign and how all club members can participate.
 
Remember your contribution is 100% tax deductible as The Rotary Foundation is a 501(c) (3) organization.  Make your check payable to “The Rotary Foundation” and Foundation Chair Chris Weeber will complete the paper work.
 
The Foundation Committee encourages you to give consideration to increasing your commitment to The Rotary Foundation.
 
Please direct any questions about this campaign to Chris Weeber at cgweeber@gmail.com or 770.442.1481. We appreciate your dedication to our Club’s number 1 charity – The Rotary Foundation.  Thank you in advance for your consideration.
