On Wednesday June 9th, President Bush signed a contract with CFCY Island Country on behalf of the Rotary Club of Charlottetown, to commit the Club to Rotary Radio Bingo. The Bingo will be broadcast on 95.1 on Tuesday nights from 7-8PM and is expected to start around Sept. 1st. We are looking forward to a long lasting relationship with CFCY. Based on other Rotary Clubs experience, significant funds have been raised for the Community from this type of fundraiser. If anyone, would like to serve on this Committee, they should contact Committee Chair, Andy Richardson.

Our fiscal year is July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017. Annual Membership Dues of $225 have been Invoiced by Treasurer, Craig Bradley. The Annual Dues can be paid in 2 separate amounts of $112.50 now and another $112.50 in December. If there are any Dues still outstanding on June 30, 2016, your Membership is automatically terminated. We are sorry that there is no flexibility, but our Club will be responsible to pay District & Rotary International based on the June 30th membership numbers. 

 

For those trying to decide whether to renew or not, Rotary is a good organization to work with other local people for the betterment of the Community. If there are things you are not 100% excited about as a current member, get involved and try to improve it. Rotary is trying to update its practices to meet member needs.
