Jams for Jake is Saturday, August 4 at Symonds Field (behind the Burbank Ice Rink).  We are a Sponsor.  Please stop by and check it out.  This is a music festival to build awareness of the problem of opioid abuse.  The BeatHeart Foundation who runs this event and others to create awareness and  provide resources to those effected by the blight of the opioid crisis.  The event runs from 11 am to 8 pm.

 

Above is a screenshot of BeatHeart Foundation's Facebook post thanking Rotary for our support.

 

 

Recently a few members have asked about how many "points" they have, meaning how much have they contributed to the Rotary Foundation as a Sustaining Member.  

 

A Sustaining Member contributes $100 annually to the Rotary Foundation.  We invoice a voluntary amount of $25 per quarter for Sustaining Member Contribution.  If you contribute $100 Reading Rotary will match your annual $100 contribution to the Foundation. 

Paul Harris Fellow recognition is extended to any individual who contributes, outright or cumulatively (or in whose name is contributed), $1,000 or more to the Annual Fund or PolioPlus or as sponsorship of a portion of a Foundation grant.  Your dollar contribution accumulates recognition points which are tracked in My Rotary.

 

Through your My Rotary account, you can view your Donor History Report which includes your personal contribution history, recognition amount and available Foundation recognition points. Once you log in, click Manage then Club and District Administration then Reports.  You can also request a copy of your Donor History Report from the Foundation at rotarysupportcenter@rotary.org.   Instructions to create a My Rotary Account are here.

Recently our quarterly invoice has been sent out by email for Dues and Meals.  Please make sure you've received the email.  And please make payment promptly.  It will be greatly appreciated by your President and Treasurer.  If you have questions about any outstanding balances, please ask me or Ed Sartell.
