Dear Mr. Johnson,
I'm sure that you are familiar with Rotary
International. It was the first, and still is the premier service club in
the World.
A few days ago, your name was suggested as
potential member. As you may be aware, membership in Rotary International
is by invitation only. Based on your stature as a community and business
leader, our board of directors feel you would be an ideal candidate for
membership in Rotary. In addition to the opportunity to make life long
friendships, Rotary offers a great deal to the community and the children
of the world. Currently, the Frontenac Rotary is involved in several
on-going projects.
Scholarships. Each year Frontenac Rotary
awards scholarships to an outstanding seniors.
Rotary Park. The Club created the Rotary
park nearly 20 years ago and is active in its growth.
Salvation Army. The Frontenac Rotary Club
hosts an annual canned food drive.
Polio Eradication. In 1985, Rotary
International became involved in the world-wide effort to eradicate Polio. As of today over
most countries have been certified as Polio free.
Group Study Exchange. Each year our
district hosts a group of Rotarians from another country and sends a Team
to their nation to exchange cultural and vocational ideas as will as
promote world peace.
There are literally hundreds of programs
that you can become a part when you become a Rotarian, not to mention the
opportunities for fellowship and a satisfaction that you are doing
something to help the community and the World. Someone from our club will
be in contact with you in a few days to discuss the benefits of being a
Rotarian. Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely,
Gary Miller
