What we have accomplished!
Over $4,240,000 raised in the last 9 years. And still growing. Almost 50 districts in North and South America have contributed to this special society, born out a few fellow Rotarians creating a special bond. Your White Hat Society has been holding a special place in Rotary Giving.
Originally starting with just one Charter Member level for a single $5000 contribution, the bar was raised to 5 levels capped as a Lifetime Member achievement for 5- $5000 contributions. Those levels have now been broken to achieve levels as high as 10 levels in the past several years and still we don’t know how much it may be able to achieve. (See stat chart in this newsletter).
With this amazing foundation, only 10% of the districts have members. Our Society’s wish now is to stimulate giving from every single. As part of your membership, we ask that you help stimulate your fellow Rotarians wherever they may be to participate in this cause.
News note: Jeff Matera of the Marble Falls Club is helping me manage the society, you may see his name from time to time. Thanks.
