Kindred Kids Child Advocacy Center is Duck Derby Recipient

The following is extracted from a press release sent out announcing the recipient of the Duck Derby proceeds:

The Kindred Kids Child Advocacy Center (CAC) will be the recipient of the Club’s portion of the ticket sales.

The Kindred Kids Child Advocacy Center (CAC) is a grant funded project through Family Crisis Services, Inc., the domestic violence & sexual assault assistance program for Fremont and Custer Counties. The CAC relies on grant funds and the generosity of community members in order to provide services to our families.

Up until now, children who were victims of sexual assault had to tell their horrific story over and over again to various agencies. This meant reliving the nightmare each time. Thanks to the soon-to-be-opened CAC, the child and family members will be taken to a safe, child friendly environment to tell their story to the different agencies involved. The CAC is designed to ensure that the child and their family receive all the services they need to navigate and heal through each process.

“Our members considered several worthy options, and in the end chose the CAC because of the vitally needed services it will provide to the community,” states Zach Reynolds, President of the Rotary Club of Cañon City. “With the help of our ticket buyers, we hope to provide the CAC with a sizeable portion of the funds they need to make this Center a reality,” Reynolds concludes.

Non Rotarians, have you ever wondered about Rotary, what it does and why you might want to get involved?
Cañon City Rotary Club members, have you sometimes had trouble explaining Rotary to others?

Perhaps the page below, entitled "Are you the Missing Piece?" can help describe what Rotary is and why someone would want to become a Rotary Club member.

YOU CAN BE A PAUL HARRIS FELLOW

Posted by George Small on Jan 06, 2012

The Rotary Foundation (TRF) is the charitable organization of Rotary. It funds the many programs, such as humanitarian grants, Vocational Training Travel (formerly Group Study Exchange), World Peace Scholars, Ambasadorial Scholars and PolioPlus. Your donations make this work possible. You can become a sustaining member with a donation of, at least, $100. With an accumulated donation of $1,000, you will be recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow (PHF). You will become a "multiple PHF" with additional donations in.increments of $1,000.

The Rotary Club of Canon City has offered to match your contributions with 2,000 Foundation Recognition Points (FRP). That means that if you contribute $100, the match of 100 points will give you a Paul Harris balance of $200. You are already 20% of the way to your first level.

Make your check to the Rotary Foundation and present it to Larry Oddo, Treasurer or go to www.rotary.org and click on "member access" and log-in. If you have problems or questions, contact George Small. I'll email you the form so that you can complete it on your computer and then copy.

Polio Plus

Posted by George Small

Since 1985, when Rotary launched its ambitious program to immunize all the world’s children against polio, the number of polio cases worldwide has declined by 99 percent. Through the efforts of Rotary and its partners, more than two billion children have received the oral polio vaccine and five million people who would otherwise have been paralyzed are walking.

Your recent gift validates the strength and resolve of our organization and members, and inspires those who have dedicated themselves to this fight. I am truly moved to think that Rotarians, with the generous support and commitment of people like you, will eradicate polio — keeping the promise we made to all the world’s children. On their behalf, I extend my deep appreciation for your gift.

I invite you to track our progress by subscribing to Rotary’s Weekly Update newsletter, and to create your own ad for Rotary’s “This Close” campaign and share it with your family and Facebook friends.

I look forward to the day when we will celebrate our shared victory over polio. Until then, please accept my sincere thanks for your support. I hope you will consider extending your support for Rotary with a monthly gift to further our efforts to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace, and to end polio forever.

Sincerely,

Kalyan Banerjee
