Thank you, John Rotary Club of Lima Annual Meeting 2020 Agenda Introductory Statement The purpose of this document is to provide our members background and recommendations from the Rotary Board and the Lima Rotary Foundation and is intended to achieve the following four objectives:
We ask for your participation and support in pursuing these objectives. Yours in Rotary, John Ficorilli Lesley Fry Rotary Board Rotary Foundation Recommended Lima Rotary Projects 2020-2021 Funding for Rotary Club projects comes largely from fundraising events which should be managed in a consistent manner. The Rotary Board and the Lima Rotary Foundation believe all Lima Rotary members should be consulted at least annually regarding Rotary Club projects before the next Rotary year commences. We further believe a system for uniform accounting, funding authority, oversight of project objectives, and accountability for project outcomes is important. Role of the Lima Rotary Foundation The Lima Rotary Foundation (LRF) was established in 1967 to receive and manage funds for educational, charitable, scientific or benevolent purposes. The Rotary Board used a portion of club fund-raising proceeds to underwrite most, but not all, club projects. In 2015, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was adopted by the Rotary Board and the Lima Rotary Foundation. The MOU provides for the transfer of all net proceeds from club fund-raising events to the LRF with the LRF Trustees giving funding priority to designated Rotary Club projects. The Rotary Board submits a consolidated grant application for the upcoming Rotary year that is acted upon by the LRF to confirm anticipated resources. This partnership ensures LRF oversight of funds while affording the Rotary Board assurance it can implement and uniformly manage club projects if projected fundraising goals are achieved. Descriptions and Definitions Selection and Authorization It is the responsibility of the Rotary Board of Directors to review, at least annually, current Rotary projects and propose their continuation or termination at the Annual Meeting. It is recommended the Rotary Board and the Lima Rotary Foundation meet at least semiannually to review projects and activities and confer on funding matters. By adopting resolutions at the Annual Meeting, the general membership authorizes the projects and activities for the next Rotary year. Proposed (new) projects may be submitted to the Board in writing at any time for its consideration. The Board is not obligated to consider submissions received less than sixty (60) days prior to the Annual Meeting. Only projects adopted by the Board and approved by the Annual Meeting may utilize the word “Rotary”. Fundraising Projects (Resolution #1) Lima Rotary fundraising projects are the primary source of funds to support Lima Rotary community and international service projects and programs. All net proceeds from fundraising projects are transferred to the Lima Rotary Foundation. Any funds not required for club projects or partnership projects become part of the general fund of the Lima Rotary Foundation. Club Projects (Resolution #2) Lima Rotary club projects are funded from the net proceeds of Rotary fundraising projects. Club projects are those projects supported entirely by Lima Rotary. The LRF allocates net proceeds receipts first for club projects. Authority to release LRF allocated funds for club projects is exercised by the Rotary Board. Partnership Projects (Resolution #3) Lima Rotary partnership projects are also funded from the net proceeds of Rotary fundraising projects. Partnership projects are those projects supported in part by Lima Rotary in cooperation with others. Funds from net proceeds receipts are allocated by the LRF. Authority to release LRF allocated funds for partnership projects is exercised by the Rotary Board. Lima Rotary voluntarily supports the work of Rotary at the District Level in the area of Medical Equipment and Supplies Abroad (MESA). Community Service Activities (Resolution #4) Lima Rotary community service activities are not funded by Rotary fundraising projects. Community service activities are those projects sponsored by Lima Rotary or in which it participates as an organization.
