Rotary Foundation Gala Challenge
THE DISTRICT 5240 ROTARY FOUNDATION
GALA $26.50 CHALLENGE
I have been overwhelmed by the response to the $26.50 challenge from Rotary clubs throughout District 5240. Once again, you – the Rotarians in our district – are showing that you are leaders and innovators who are enabling our Rotary Foundation to do good in the world for the next hundred years. Several clubs have already met the challenge. I look forward to recognizing those clubs and the many that will join them in the next several weeks for this remarkable accomplishment.
If you are being questioned by members of your club about the challenge, remind them of
the many things you can do with $26.50. With many thanks to David Masci, the
Foundation Chair of the Rotary Club of Thousand Oaks, here are some things that your
club members will miss if they donate the sum of $26.50 to the Rotary Foundation:
• 1 KWH of power from Jamaica Public Service
• The cost per guest for Flying Horse catering in Castle Rock, Colorado
• Replacing a commercial driver's license in Oregon
• Drop and shop service to watch your children at

I am sure you can think of others.
In conjunction with the 26.50 challenge, District 5240 is offering a prize to the Rotarian in
our district who comes up with the most unique idea on what you could do today with
$26.50 – the amount of money that Arch Klumph used to start The Rotary Foundation.
Send your ideas to DGE John Weiss (johnweissdg1718@gmail.com ) by October 1. But
before you do, send your $26.50 to The Rotary Foundation and support your club in the
26.50 challenge
