meeting spent discussing Foundation contributions: Pursue a yearly up-to-date insert regarding foundation contributions; Contributions to unrestricted category
should be encouraged; Birthday Table contributions seem to provide sufficient funds to meet Scholarship & Citizenship and Campership contributions; Need to keep 5%
corpus growth policy in mind during distribution decisions; Foundation contributions need to be reported to membership frequently, perhaps monthly; Keep membership
informed as to numbers in each of the level of giving categories; Change thrust of Birthday Table letters that accompany "Record of Financial Giving" each month; and
Involve membership in fund raising; (4) Board felt there should be a Club program regarding the Foundation, BETTY SUDDARTH, Club Program Chair for May 2001,
offered a Tuesday for a Foundation program; and (5) Board felt it would be appropriate to have a regularly scheduled Tuesday Foundation program, perhaps
two, each year starting with the 2001-2002 Rotary year Club programs, perhaps the Foundation Annual meeting could be one of these. The next Foundation Board meeting is Wednesday, October 11, 2000. PROGRAM (September 26, 2000)
