Bill wants your change

BANK YOUR SMALL CHANGE – BENEFIT THE ROTARY FOUNDATION

During a recent Club meeting, Foundation Chair Bill Maule announced that he hopes to revive an old Club tradition.  Some years ago, most members had been provided with small cardboard “banks”.  These were convenient places to dump one’s daily accumulation of small change.  A  few of our members have continued the tradition, but it has gone out of style with others. Also, many new members have never been part of  the program.  Let’s celebrate the past and try the banks again!

The idea is simple.  One of those little banks  is  a convenient  place for change, instead of just  dumping  it on the dresser for the cat to push  to the floor or a small child to be endangered by picking  it up.  Then, when the box is full, just close it up, print your name on it, and hand it to Gale, Helen or Bill.  Your pocket change will be converted to a check and sent to the Rotary Foundation in your name. The Foundation and its good work will   benefit, you gain some convenience, and you will be just that much closer to earning a Paul Harris Fellowship.

Bill reports that there were not many takers at the meeting, and threatens to keep reminding you! The banks will always be available at the welcome table at most meetings.  You won’t miss small change, and you will keep Bill quiet for a while!
