Prospective 50 50 Ontario Rotary On Line Lottery winners
This is a follow up to last week and also discussion at the February 25th Passport Club meeting. We are still hoping to finalize at least three Ontario-based Charities that our club would like to sponsor in the Ontario Rotary online 50/50 Lottery. So far we have three prospective charities:
The Ottawa Rotary Home - nominated by David Whyte
and featured in last week's Bulletin.
and
The Agape Food Bank in Cornwall nominated by Ariane Carriere.
The Canadian Aid for Chernobyl
President Chris is proposing this Brockville-based Charity headed by Thousand Island Rotarian Dave Shaw. Canadian Aid For Chernobyl provides targeted assistance to families in need as a result of the Chernobyl disaster and Brockville volunteers make sure donations are directly delivered to these families that need assistance. President Chris is currently making sure that this charity is okay with our sponsorship and the Board will then be making a final decision about that charity and others that may come forward.
A fourth possibility is: The Cataraqui Rotary FAR Project nominated by Margaret Shibley cannot finalized until it has been approved by Rotary International so is still pending.
If you have other projects to propose please pass along to Secretary Terry Forth. Once approved by our Board we will also need agreement from the respective charity as well as a JPEG copy of the charity logo and a brief description of the charity goals etc. Please note to be eligible for our sponsorship prospective charities must be registered and active in the province of Ontario.
The way this charity works is that lucky winners of the winning ticket receive 50% of the pot, the charity of their choice gets 35% and 15% covers the administrative costs carried by the Mississauga Rotary club.
