Dear Rotarians,
I would like to pass along this most helpful email on the Pedal for Polio  
ride to you in hopes that everyone in our club can support John Cottle as he 
 rides 350 miles from Crescent City to Petaluma.

If you put aside $5 dollars each week starting today, you will have  the 
$35 pledge by August 31. Buy any amount larger or smaller is fine! Three  
things will be accomplished:

1. We raise a record amount for our district and Polio Plus, bringing us  
closer to the goal of ending this disease.

2. Your donation counts toward your Paul Harris Fellowship and is matched  
by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. The 2-1 match means your money  
becomes  $105!

3. Your donation counts toward our clubs goal of 100% participation for  
"every Rotarian every year.." Which means 100% of our members give annually to 
 the Rotary Foundation. 

I know some of you had to miss this weeks meeting, but I want to let you  
know John did receive two pledges, so we are off to a good start!
Thank you,
Donna

Dear  Donna,  
As you are probably aware, the District is staging a 6 day bicycle ride  
starting August 14th, from one end of our district to the other  called Pedal 
4 Polio. A dedicated cadre of Rotarian bike  riders will ride the 350 miles 
from Crescent City to Petaluma and solicit  pledges for their rides.  Our 
goal is $84,000, and can only be achieved  if each and every Rotarian in the 
district donates a minimum of $35.  And  after the Bill & Melinda Gates 
Foundation 2:1 match, that would turn  into $252,000.   
This note is to explain the 3 ways Rotarians or Friends of  Rotarians can 
pledge funds toward their favorite rider, and receive Paul  Harris Credit for 
their donation. 
1) You can go to  
http://www.imathlete.com/donate/TheRotaryFoundationPolioPlusFund?z=1499036595922 and  click on their favorite rider.  This is the 
easiest method for donating,  and for bookkeeping purposes, but the company 
running the website charges a 7%  fee, so we are discouraging the use of this 
method, unless it's conveniece  outweighs the cost to the individual. 
2) You can pay by check.  A donor can make their check out to  "The Rotary 
Foundation", in the memo section put "PolioPlus", and give to the  rider 
they are supporting, or to their club Treasurer or Foundation  Chair.  Attached 
to this email are two separate forms, one for riders and  one for clubs, to 
record the donations they receive.  Attention  Treasurers and Foundation 
Chairs...do not "double record" donations that are  given to you by the rider. 
 They have already recorded the donation on  their own form.  We ask that 
you email the forms to Bob Rogers at crobertrogers at comcast.net on a weekly 
basis.  The  forms are in word, for your greatest flexibility.   
3) Go to _rotary.org_ (http://rotary.org/)  and scroll to the bottom of the 
page, where  you'll see a "Donate" button. That will take you to apage, 
where you can  specify "Polio Plus Fund".  Make sure if this method is used 
that the  donor lets their rider, Treasurer or Foundation Chair know that they 
have  donated in this way, so they can record it on their form.  

A list of riders as of July 21st is listed below.  We  will update the list 
weekly on the homepage of _District5130.org _ (http://www.rotary5130.org/)
