[Rotary] Regarding ticket sales for Casino Night

[JPorter631 at aol.com]

Keep in mind checks made out to the Foundation are NOT  available for 
meeting the Club's  expenses and avenues of  service.   I think it is a bad idea 
to tell people 
 to make checks to the Foundation.  We  lose  control of how that money is 
spent.   The CLUB will  make  donations  to the Foundation depending on what 
we can  afford in light of other commitments.    John P

Hi  everyone,
The  question came up at our table at last weeks meeting. "Who should I 
turn  the money in to- for the ticket sales, Harold?"
My  recommendation is that if it is a check, or checks, mail to:  
Mendocino  Rotary Club
PO Box  102
Mendocino,  CA 95437
If  cash, of course it will need to be given to Harold.


Another  question that came up, " Who should they make out the checks to?" 
The  answer is: Mendocino Rotary Foundation (which is a 501c3). Most 
everyone  would like to make a donation with a tax benefit, so have them made out  
to our Mendocino Rotary Foundation.


Do you  have thoughts regarding these questions?  President John, can we  
bring up this topic for brief clarification at our next meeting? We  finally 
have s system established for accepting checks for Rotary Park  and the 
Foundation, and giving thank you notes in a timely manner. We  could discuss, or 
maybe run a scenario, because I expect I'll hear some  questions, such as 
how much of the funds raised from Casino Night are to  go for various 
projects? I am wondering if we are going to use  percentages.
Thanks,
Donna
