* The Funding Committee recommended, and the Board approved, a donation of
$1,500.00 with a challenge to Club members to match the donation through individual
contributions. Club members exceeded the challenge and contributed $1,833.00. In
addition the Club approved a recommendation from the Board of Directors that
$5,000.00, or an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the net proceeds of the 2005
annual pork chop dinner and auction, whichever was greater, be donated to the Rotary
District 6440 District Charitable Fund Inc NFP. The “net” from the pork chop dinner
and auction in 2005 was $56,671.62. Ten percent (10%) of that figure, or $5,667.16, was
thus earmarked for hurricane relief. Additionally, at the Club meeting on November 3,
2005 the Emmons School Kids Coalition presented the Funding Committee with a check
for $1,000.00 to be applied to the hurricane relief effort of the Club. The total, therefore,
that the Club has raised for hurricane relief, all of which was donated to the Rotary
District 6440 District Charitable Fund Inc NFP was $10,000.16.
** In approving the $200.00 donation to the Toys for Tots program, the Board also adopted
a challenge to members of the Club to match the donation. At its meetings on December
15 and 22 Club members donated an additional $230.00, bringing the total donated to the
Toys for Tots program to $430.00
In addition, eleven (11) Paul Harris fellows were sponsored by Club members
