SOUVENIR AND COLLECTORS’S CENTENNIAL ENVELOPE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF ROTARY

To celebrate 100 years of Rotary International the Rotary Club of Newtownabbey has designed and produced an attractive commemorative envelope. The envelopes will be franked and posted from Chicago on 23 February 2005. The cost per envelope is £6.00.

This is a unique opportunity for all Rotarians and friends not only to participate in and celebrate 100 years of Rotary but also to support the Rotary Foundation to which all monies raised will be donated. Rotary Foundation is Rotary’s corporate charity and is the world’s largest private charity. Since 1947 The Rotary Foundation has made over $1 billion in awards since 1947, and $94.1 million in 2002-2003.

The envelopes may be ordered online at www.rotary.centennialenvelope.com , or by sending name and address (as will appear on the envelope) together with a cheque, made payable to the Rotary Club of Newtonabbey Trust Fund, to Martin Sayliss, 10 Glenshame Park Newtonabbey, Co Antrim, BT37 0QN Northern Ireland. All orders must be paid for at the time of ordering. Envelopes will not be posted out until 23 February 2005, the centennial anniversary of the founding of the first Rotary Club in Chicago. Ever since, Rotary’s work has spanned the globe, with clubs in 166 countries and a membership of 1.2 million businessmen and women.
