| White Elephant Sale By: Sheila Azar |
Fellow Rotarians,
Since things have been a little crazy the last couple of years and we have several new members, I thought we should send out some reminders of our White Elephant Sale. First and foremost, please remember this is the only main fundraiser we do on a regular basis as a club. This fundraiser is held in order to support any capital improvements and needs that the Wiregrass Rehabilitation Center facilities may have. They depend heavily on us. With that said, here are a few things to keep in mind:
1) Each member is charged with an overall financial commitment of $300. $100 for the reverse raffle ticket and then the other $200 is allotted to the item you donate for the auction and the item you purchase during the auction. You may donate an item with a value of $200. That covers your commitment on both. Members who are not able to make it to the auction may choose to just write a donation check for $200 or more, and that’s fine too. However you get to that other $200 is up to each member.
2) Your White Elephant Sale tickets ($20 for you and a guest) will be on your next Rotary bill, as well as the Raffle ticket charge.
3) PLEASE INVITE OTHERS! The bigger crowd we have, the better our chances are for raising more money. Tickets are $10 each and you may choose to pay for your guest that night or have it added to your bill. Heather will be at the entrance taking that information.
Lastly, come with a giving attitude. We all know the last couple of years have been rough so let’s show WRC all the love we can!
Thank you all for what you do and what you will do!!

Each member is also asked to purchase an item or items valued at $100 or more.With the event just being just 2 weeks away. Cards have been passed out at the past couple of Rotary events that have your information on them that are to be attached to the gift when you drop it off. The remainder of the cards that were not picked up are in the mail and you should have those within the next couple of days. In the event you don’t have your card, please write your name and the value on the gift, so we’ll know who to apply the gift to.

| District 6880 Disaster Response - Ukraine Crisis By: Sheila Azar |
Fellow Rotarians:
Today, Rotary District 6880 has committed to supporting Rotary's Disaster Response Fund, which has prioritized Rotary districts impacted by the Ukraine crisis, in the amount of $50,000.00. These funds come from our District's existing District Designated Funds.
When Rotarians, in District 6880, donate to the Rotary Annual Fund, 50% of these dollars come back 3 years later to the district in the form of District Designated Grants. In addition to funding local club projects, dollars are used to support many Rotary Global Grants as well as Polio Plus. This is why it is so important for all Rotarians to support the Rotary Foundation.
There are so many needs in this world, but the Ukraine crisis has truly touched all our hearts.
I ask each of my fellow Rotarians in District 6880 to seriously consider donating towards this unparalleledcrisis. With your help, we can make a difference.
You can donate directly to Rotary Foundation’s Disaster Response Fund.
The link to begin thedonationprocess is: Disaster Response Fund | My Rotary
Please note: contributions toRotary’s Disaster Response Fundmade through30 April 2022will be prioritized for districts impacted by theUkraine crisis. Funds not granted to impacted districts for that purpose by 30 June 2022 will then be available to any Rotary districts for Disaster Response grants.
Thank you so much for your prayers and financial consideration.
