  3. Fund Raising • Annual Giving ( EREY) $307.50..but, • Trivia evening in support of EREY tentatively planned for May 2011, • Craig Huggins (Gold 104.3) contacted to compare/organise/lead the evening, • President Mike & Mike Wetzlerorganising the evening on behalf of RC Eltham, • Plan to raise minimum $2,000, • Bike ride to Conference raised $1,710…great effort by Trevor Smith with support of Club members…thankyou.

  6. Future Vision Plan • Foundation is changing the way Rotarian activities are funded, • 100 pilot Districts appointed for 3 years from 1st July 2010, • All Districts will commence using the new model effective 1 July, 2013 • Clubs encouraged to identify a pressing need thru “partnership”, • Work with the community to choose the best solution, • Minimum Global Grant is US$30,000 so scale of funding should achieve bigger project impact, • Use of District Designated Funds (DDF) central to plan…the bigger DDF the better…, • DDF growth is achieved thru Annual Giving <EREY>….need to boost the DDF by commencement 2013/2014.
