Old Business
Rotary District Grant – Finance has been applied for and our grant has been submitted. We are awaiting reward.
Town Management has approved the general location of the pole and flag (in the new Bounds area) once funding and the purchase has been secured.
UPDATE: District Grant typically shows up at the end of September. We will need to procure our pole and flag before the end of the Rotary year to prove purchase. The purchased parts will need to be stored until the Town is ready to install.
Paul Harris Fellowship – Thank you to all members who have committed to donating $1000 over the course of the Rotary year! Your contributions sustain the amazing work happening around the globe under by the hands of Rotarians throughout. If you would like an automated method of donation, please visit rotary.org and sign in with your rotary email address.
UPDATE | We have a proposed goal of having 100% of membership attaining the rank of Paul Harris Fellow.
Members that are not within that goal, have been called on in the spirit of service! IF you can donate $200 to the Rotary Foundation, the Warsaw Rotary Club will in-fact, donate the rest of your needed points! This is a prestigious symbol of service. We know it’s possible and we have the means to do it. Please contact Michael Bergamo if you are interested in joining us in this cause. |
Community Support – Rotary’s goal is community service and improvement. Open discussion regarding service opportunities and viable donations to be made as a result of Rotary Fundraising.

WHAT IS ROTARY! – Ads for each member of Rotary to be the voice of the club. When you (and your organization) are asked, “What is Rotary” we will ask you to give your reason for serving and what it means to your life. This is a relatable way for perspective members and donors to know who to turn to when there is interest.
