As we settle into the routines of this Rotary year, I would like to remind all Rotarians of our District 9705 Centurion program. By contributing as an individual personally, or through your club, you are making a tangible donation to the programs of our Rotary Foundation. All donations through the Centurion program are Tax Deductible and can be set up as a one off contribution, or as a regular donation. As I have mentioned at different times, my donation is set up to be made each year on my birthday so I don't have to worry about remembering when it will occur, and it is my gift to the Foundation and the world on that day.
By using the Individual Donation Form you can specify how and when your payment is made.
Club Treasurers can use the Multi Donor form to collate all donations made through the club and submit it on behalf of the members.
Club membership numbers must be the Rotary International member number which are available from the Secretary from your Clubrunner Member listing or can be read from your Rotary Down Under Magazine subscription cover page where it is the second number shown just above your name and address. Please don't use the first number shown on this page as it is for RDU use only.
I am attaching the updated forms to this email, and have uploaded them to the D9705 Clubrunner website for downloading at any other time.
Funds raised through the Centurion program go towards your District's credit for DDF in 3 years time, and is a Paul Harris Fellow credit for each individual making the donation.
Let's make this a big year and get our club and individual support for the Rotary Foundation under control. Many of the programs of the Foundation are dependent on our financial contributions.
If you would like more information for your club, please reach out to members of the District Foundation committee during the coming months, and especially in preparation for Foundation Month in November.
Thank you for your support.
