Welcome

 

Dr. Clift Price was an extraordinarily passionate Rotarian.  He was a founding member and past president of the RC of Austin University Area, and he served as our Governor in 1993-94.  He was a strong and vocal advocate for supporting The Rotary Foundation.

 

Clift died a year ago on February 19, 2021 at Westminster Manor in Austin, having just recently celebrated his 97th birthday via Zoom with his large loving extended family.  In memory of his lifetime of service to Rotary, District 5870 is conducting a 2-month matching contribution drive to help support the charity Clift worked so hard to promote - The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. 

 

So, for a limited time starting on March 1, 2022, District 5870 will do the following:

Using Rotary Foundation Recognition Points generously donated by district Rotarians, we will match contributions of new cash made to the Annual Fund-SHARE between March 1 to April 30, 2022 on a 1-to-1 basis in amounts of $250 to $500 for any active Rotarian in District 5870 who is not yet a Paul Harris Fellow +8. 

 

Please note:  These matches are limited to one per donor and will be processed on a first come, first served basis until April 30, 2022 or the match pool is exhausted with ever comes first.  Match requests received prior to March 1, 2022 will not be accepted.

 

The rules are simple:  If you are a Paul Harris Fellow and have a Recognition Amount less than $8,500 you are eligible to participate.  Simply email me at richkaye@hot.rr.com and let me know how much you are contributing to the Annual Fund-SHARE – the amount must be between $250 and $500. 

 

Then, either donate directly to the Rotary Foundation by going online at www.rotary.org (please be sure to log into My Rotary before donating) or mailing your contribution (using the attached contribution form) to The Rotary Foundation, 14280 Collections Center Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60693.  As soon as your contribution posts, I will release your match.
