During our January 16 Rotary luncheon, Fund Drive Committee Chair Cathy Durham (left) was able to announce that we met our fund drive goal and, in fact, by the end of the meeting, we had exceeded it. This was in thanks to several members who made contributions at the meeting. In addition, we would like to thank Marv Levy who donated two courtside floor seats to the January 22 UW Men’s basketball game plus extras. These tickets were auctioned off at the meeting, and this put us over our $130,000 goal. Cathy thanked her committee members, those who donated prizes, and all of the members who contributed. Here is a wrap-up report regarding our 2012-13 annual Fund Drive:
Total contributions and pledges were: $130,541.64 with 94% of members participating. Our participation percentage this year was the highest it has been in the past 15 years. Thank you to Cathy Durham and her Fund Drive Committee members: Frank Byrne, Mary Gaffney-Ward, Janet Gray, John Hayes, Patrick Marsden, Mark Moody, Lin Rohr and Carrie Wall on a job well done!
There were many wonderful prizes donated by club members. Here is a listing of the prizes, donors and winners. Our thanks to the donors and congratulations to the winners!

While our fund drive officially ended on January 16, we will continue to accept gifts through the end of our fiscal year which is June 30, 2013. Remember that we have the added convenience of PayPal which members can access via the homepage of our website at www.rotarymadison.org.
Thanks to all members who participated this year. Our grant committees are hard at work reviewing application forms received this year. We will hear more about the results of the committees’ work in March when the process is completed.
