Beginning in the new Rotary year, all NMRC members are asked to make their Rotary Foundation contributions directly to TRF via Rotary Direct. Instructions will be provided. After June, contributions will no longer be invoiced by our treasurer. This will get your money to TRF faster, get your tax recognition faster, enable you to manage your contributions, and free up the responsibility from our treasurer. Specific instructions will becoming.

Open House at Camp Bow wow!
A message from Laurie: There will be an Open House at Camp Bow Wow (301 Ruthar Drive, 19711) on Sunday, 2/23 from 1-3 pm. We will have tours, prizes and lots of info for dog lovers. Dogs that have been through the First Day and current on vaccinations are welcome to come and play for free while their people sniff us out.
2025 Report ad campaign in Full Swing!
Mark your calendar on March 13. That’s the deadline for reserving ad spots in the 2025 issue. The goal this year is $45,000 in ads. Chairman Cindi Viviano, along with Ed Gossett on sales, will be awarding prizes for number of ads sold, amount of dollars of ads sold, and number of renewals of new ads sold. Don’t miss out!
or would you rather sell pizza kits, sell raffle tickets, hold beef and beer dinners, or dig into your personal savings? I didn’t think so…..
so, here are some tips from a professional salesperson…
1) set aside a specific time of day for making your phone calls, emails, and drop offs
2) utilize the sell sheet, 2024 Report, club website, and club Facebook page
