ANUNCIAN INCENTIVOS PARA ATRAER SOCIOS PAUL HARRIS

To: Zone 34 DGs, DRFCs, PPCs and TRF Team
 
Sunday, 24 October 2010 is World Polio Day as determined by the UN.  Rotarians around the world are planning events in celebration of this day. In San Francisco, approximately 2,000 people are expected to walk the Golden Gate Bridge along with President Ray.  A lighting of the Ferry Terminal with END POLIO NOW is planned for the evening
 
Want extra recognition points to become a Paul Harris Fellow?  Want your Rotary Club to become a 100% Paul Harris Fellow Club?  Want your District to become a 100% Paul Harris Fellow District?  Encourage Rotarians to give a minimum of US$100 to PolioPlus on line and get 2 recognition points for every 1 dollar contributed to PolioPlus the week of Monday Oct 18 to Sunday Oct 24. 
 
For the week leading up to this event, The Rotary Foundation will be offering 2 for 1 recognition credit for every contribution of US$100 or more made to polio on-line.  The strategy is to encourage Rotarians to experience our on-line giving application in the hopes that they will find it simple and easy and come back to it again and again.  On-line contribution processing is much less expensive than processing checks through the bank lockbox.  The opportunity would be open to all Rotarians worldwide for one week.
 
RI has done an operational analysis to determine if the servers can accommodate the high volume of traffic anticipated. For such analysis, it was assumed a total of US$1 million in contributions over the course of the week.  At the end of the week President Ray will communicate the results during the event in San Francisco. RI will also announce the results on the Rotary web-page.
