President's Message
Greetings fellow Rotarians,

I hope you enjoyed a long, wonderful weekend and had opportunity to honor Memorial Day in your own, meaningful way.
 
Stay tuned for our first in-person meeting details for 2020-2021! We’re in the approval queue for the Pavilion at the end of June for our induction of officers-details to come as we receive (fingers crossed) approval! We’re working on a virtual option; likely a YouTube for those of you had aren’t able to join us, to watch at your convenience.
 
For those of you who would like to continue the conversation with Portland Pearl, click here for a link to their social justice committee meeting, June 7th.
 
Take care, see you soon!
Yours in service. Sue

Annual Fundriaser - For many years, the Rotary Club of Salem has held an annual fundraiser and social gathering to raise funds for an identified major project, the Club's ongoing charitable activities and to support the Salem Rotary Foundation. Although we are unable to hold our event this year, support for these crucial projects and services did not go away and need to be funded. This year, we are asking our members to donate to this special appeal. We need to raise $50,000 to fulfill our project goals. These generous club members: Don and Teresa Lulay, Ozzie Rose, Mike Carrick, Linda Wooters, Larry Hanslits, and an anonymous Rotarian donor, will match up to $25,000 – half our goal, making every dollar you donate go twice as far! We have 100% of the board donating to our Good Works campaign as well. Please consider donating the amount that you usually spend at our annual fundraising event by supporting this appeal. Click here to donate online or send a check to:

Salem Rotary Foundation
PO Box 3981
Salem, Oregon 97302.

We need to reach our goal by June 15th so please donate today!
