Bring Coats for Crisis Assistance

The next three weeks our club will collect coats and jackets for Crisis Assistance Ministry which badly needs them as winter begins.  Please bring gently used or new coats to the meeting and they will be transported to Crisis Assistance Ministry.  Our club has held a coat drive every year for several years and the response has been excellent.  The need this year is greater than ever.

What Is The Paul Harris Society?
Probably every Rotarian knows that Paul Harris was the founder of Rotary, but many long-time Rotarians may not know what the Paul Harris Society is.

The Paul Harris Society is a group of dedicated Rotarians who have agreed to contribute at least $1,000 a year (every year) to the Rotary Foundation.  This group of Rotarians is committed to enhancing the wonderful work of the Rotary Foundation throughout the World.  While we applaud each and every Rotarian who makes an annual contribution to the Rotary Foundation, Rotary International has created this special way of recognizing those Rotarians who commit to sending the Foundation at least $1,000 annually.

Kelly Morris, Paul Harris Society Chair, said, "If you are a member of the Paul Harris Society, or, if you contribute at least $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation each year (and, if someone falls into this category, please let me know so that I can fill out the paperwork to get you recognized as a PHS member), I personally want to thank you for your commitment to RI.  If you have thought about stepping up your contributions, there is no better time than right now to become a member of the Paul Harris Society.  If you don't contribute to the Rotary Foundation, then you need to take some time and re-assess your priorities.  In these troubled economic times, there is no better charity that any of us can support than the Rotary Foundation, where 100% of all of our contributions are spent to do the good works of Rotary International and to benefit the citizens of the World.  Remember, the Rotary Foundation is OUR CHARITY!"
