| GOVERNOR'S CORNER |
Dear Club Presidents. We are nearing the completion of your first quarter in office and I am sending a reminder that your funds for our Wheelchair Project are due September 30, 2011. Send your funds into the District office with a clear notation on the check - Contribution to the Wheelchair Project. We are in the process of getting the project approved as a TRF Matching Grant so that your pledges will come back to your clubs as recognition points. To date, we are in receipt of approximately $25,000 of the $72,000 pledged at the District Assembly last April. If you have already submitted your pledge, I thank you whole-heartedly. |
