DEC. 3 MEETING: Rotary Foundation
Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Rotary Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing and sustainable projects, both here and around the world. Join us on Thursday as our own Sara Butruff, a member of our district's Foundation committee, shares how we can help transform the world we live in. 
 
Please update your calendar with THIS NEW LINK. The meeting ID is the same – 770 579 8084, but the passcode is new – 827537.
 
And if all else fails – or you prefer – you can call in to 1-312-626-6799. I don't know if you really need the 1 on front, so be prepared to test it and be surprised!
LET'S EARN $15,000!
Thanks to Old National Bank, Farmington Rotary could win $15,000! Visit their website every day between now and Dec. 17 to vote for Farmington Rotary Foundation. Each of us can vote once per day. Once the votes are tallied, the top nonprofit vote getter in Farmington gets $15,000. Enter your email address, add Farmington Rotary Foundation to the nonprofit field, confirm you are over the age of 18 and that's it. Enter every day!

TELL YOUR ROTARY STORY
Farmington Rotary is important. But why? Why are YOU a member of this club? Barb suggested that some regular Facebook and website posts from each of us about our "Rotary why" is a great way to promote the club, engage current members and bring in new members. Submit your "why" to Barb or check for an email from her for more details. No technology skills necessary!
