Featured Item - Match your Charitable Donation by Dec 1st
The deadline is coming up for the Rotary club to take advantage of matching funds from the Rotary Endowment. If you need to know if you have reached your match, please contact the Club Administrator.
Through the Rotary Endowment at the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation, individual Rotarians may request up to $250 to match their donations to charitable organizations, dollar for dollar.
The deadline to request these funds is coming up on December 1, 2022. Please encourage fellow Rotarians to take this opportunity to leverage the philanthropic power of the Rotary Endowment! Request forms can be found here.
It's the Holiday season which means our Club is putting together Christmas Baskets for families in our community and we need your help. Any amount you'd like to donate will help us bring smiles to kids and their parent's faces this winter.
There will be envelopes on the tables at our meetings in which you can donate cash, check, or a charge to your account.
If you haven't used your match for a charitable donation yet, this is the perfect opportunity to fully utilize it. Be sure to make the check out to Camps & Services and get the form back by Dec 1st.
