Dear Friends,
As you know November is the Foundation month. It has been our DG's wish that each Rotarian donates $ 26.50 to the Foundation this year, the amount of money which was initially donated 100 years ago.
It was agreed at the last Board of Directors meeting that we will celebrate the 100th anniversary the WP@CH way: Marc and I would like to cordially invite you and your partners to our house for dinner on Monday 21st at 14 Gumnut Road Cherrybrook. The dinner will be in place of the Springfield House 21 November meeting. Please arrive at 6.30 for a 7 pm start. You only need to bring your own drinks and a glass.
$26.50 from each member's $30 (not partner's) will become a Centenary donation to Rotary Foundation. Every member is encouraged to make a Centenary Donation which will be made to the Foundation in the member's name and a receipt provided from Foundation. For those unable to attend the dinner, the donation can be made at the next Monday dinner meeting.
We are hoping that all of you will be able to attend.
Kind regards
Teresa
