Annual Fund SHARE Fundraiser Red Sox Tickets

Posted by Alexander Falk on Jul. 09, 2024

Let's start the new Rotary year with a quick July fundraiser for the Annual Fund SHARE

We have 2 tickets each for the following 8 Red Sox games at Fenway Park to give away to raise money for our Rotary Foundation:

August 9/10/11 Houston Astros vs Boston Red Sox
August 23/24/25 Arizona Diamondbacks vs Boston Red Sox
August 27/28 Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox

The seats are located in row 1 of the Aura Club (formerly Home Plate Pavilion Club) and have some of the best views in the ballpark (see photo on the left). The face value of these tickets is $235 per seat.

To participate in this fundraiser you need to submit a bid in which you commit to donate at least $400 to the Annual Fund SHARE (for both tickets together). The higher your bid, the more likely you are going to get the tickets. Please reach out to DRFC Alexander Falk via email before July 31 with a list of your preferred dates and your bid commitment.

We're Going Back to Cebu!

Posted by Terry Rezendes Curran on Jul. 21, 2024

District Governor Tom is pleased to announce that we have secured the sponsorship for the next Rotaplast Mission to Cebu in the Philippines.

We will be departing on March 8, 2025, and returning on March 23, 2025. Rotaplast is a Rotary adjacent organization, started and supported by Rotarians worldwide. Their mission is to alleviate the suffering of children with facial deformities in low-income countries through free corrective plastic surgeries (cleft lip and palate).

This is a great opportunity for clubs to be part of an international service mission. We hope that all clubs will contribute to raising our goal of $85K. We also need volunteers to come with us. Contact PDG Terry Curran at TerryCurran7930@gmail.com or call at 617-501-3521 if you are interested or have any questions.

Rotary is a membership organization. That means that the unique skills and contributions of our members are the driving force behind everything we do. To accomplish everything we want to do, we need our club, district, and zone leaders to commit to growing Rotary and Rotaract. That’s why growing our membership is one of our top priorities.

Register now for the upcoming webinar The State of Membership on Thursday, August 29, 2024 at Noon EDT. A recording will be available to everyone who registers.

During this 45-minute webinar, we will:

Review the current state of our membership as of 1 July 2024
Discuss the recent research findings from the all-member surveys
Share ideas about how club and district leaders (YOU!) are improving the club experience for members. All ideas generated will be shared with everyone who registers.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts and questions.

Has your club recently hosted an event or project or are you planning something in the near future that you would like to share with your fellow District 7930 Rotarians?

The weekly eBulletin depends on the content provided by clubs, so please submit your stories and we will publish them on the district website and in the next eBulletin. Stories that showcase your club or event should be submitted via the website portal at this link. Your club's successes and events can give inspiration to other Rotarians.

The deadline for submitting items for the weekly District 7930 eBulletin is Friday morning in order to be included in the following Monday's edition. If the eBulletin being prepared is getting to be too long and the story submitted is not time-sensitive, we may choose to delay including it until the following week.
