Kudos to John and Peter Mendick for spearheading and funding the creation of the Irondequoit Rotary Foundation! This foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that will allow our donors to deduct donations from their taxes and make us eligible to receive funding grants from other non-profits. It also exempts us from sales tax on purchases. The Foundation Board is led by Tom Kosanke (President), Bob Scheidt (VP), Dave Shaheen (Treasurer), and Ray Holla/Louis DiPrima (Co-Secretary). The creation of the Foundation will change how our club accounts for donations, etc. and requires a separate bank account from our general club funds. Lots of discussion on how all this will work but a great step forward for our club! Next week's meeting is at Camp Eastman for the Irondequoit Police National Night Out. Please be there at 5pm. Camp Haccamo is looking for new leaders. See Rocco Leone or Jason Miller if interested in getting involved more deeply in this great organization.
