members are asked to give a token donation when they become a member.
Our club gives 10% of the net receipts of all our fund raisers and the members
are asked to give what they can. Each members donation to the Foundation is put
in that members fund. When that account reaches $1000.00 that member can become
a Paul Harris Fellow.
The club's account also accumulates and when the account reaches $1000.00 the
club designates a Paul Harris Fellow.
