This week is our special holiday luncheon at Mazzeo's, which starts at 11:45 to provide more time for Club fellowship.

Last week Gwen Davis kicked off the annual RI Foundation appeal with an overview of how the Foundation does great things around the world. Whether helping to eradicate polio or providing clean water to rural communities in Central America, RI Foundation funding is vital to the lasting change RIF is creating in communities all over the world. Responsible leadership means being both efficient and trustworthy with the donations RIF receives. They are committed to making the most out of every dollar, which is why over 90% of their funding goes for program expenses. This commitment has earned RIF a top rating of four stars from Charity Navigator, the largest and most utilized independent evaluator of nonprofits in the United States. Each year, gifts to RIF fund thousands of projects around the globe. RIF’s generosity depends on us.  Please fill out the pledge form that Gwen distributed last week with your gift to making a better world for all.
