Contribute to Negril Rotary Education Efforts
Dear friends,
Rotary's primary focus is supporting education in our community, Negril. We have set a fund-raising goal of $5,000.00 US for Rotary's year ending July 2015. We need $4,500 to meet our goal. We are all aware of the importance of education and are asking you, our friends, to contribute. 100% of your donation will be used for education and will be applied toward scholarships, uniforms, books, transportation, and other related expenses. No donation is too small.
For those of you who would benefit from a US tax deduction, we have good
news!
The Rotary Club of Negril has been accepted as a partner of One World
Children’s Fund (our US fiscal agent) because of our integrity, track
record and shared interest – education for our youth. One of the beauties of this
association is that our friends in the US can now easily make tax-free
donations that go directly to our educational projects.
Please visit this site: www.owcf.org Click on Partners on the top menu
bar; a drop down menu will appear. Then select Meet The Partners
We are alphabetical under R for Rotary Club of Negril. And watch Rotarian Elaine’s video about our Donkey Races; it’s a hoot.
If you would like to donate, click on Donate Now and Step 1 is clearly marked, Donation to Rotary Club of Negril.
The Rotary Club of Negril believes that this partnership will make a significant contribution to its overall fund-raising activities, and hopes to raise an additional $5,000 for its community service programs
Thanks for your consideration. If you have friends who would be interested, please pass this along.
The Rotarians of Negril

Great way to help children stay in school. Often when you ask a child, why aren’t you in school? The reply is, mi naw ‘ave taxi fare OR mi naw ‘ave lunch money. The Rotary Club helps with that – with their school bus and/or club members pay the school directly for a child’s lunches. Then the money isn’t spent on ... you can imagine.

Thank you to all who have donated. We are closer to our goal of 5000.00 U.S. We still need another 2500.00. Thanks for considering a donation!
