Like many Rotary Clubs, Club #10 has a long tradition of collecting Happy Dollars at the end of our meetings. The Happy Dollars collected go directly to the Club in support of its initiatives. For those new to the practice, the Rotary E-Club of NextGen sums it up well: “Happy” members raise their hand, pass a dollar to the solicitor and tell the rest of the membership why they are happy… I have heard reasons for “happiness” range from the serious (“my husband has just been declared cancer free”) to the hilarious (“I gave a ‘happy dollar’ last week because the grandchildren were coming to visit. I’m giving another this week because they are finally going away!”). In all cases, the “Happy Dollars” let Rotarians see more into the lives of their fellow members, and this helps build camaraderie within their club. In addition to sharing happy news for $1.00, members and visitors are welcome to promote business and community events and opportunities for $5.00. If you would like to contribute via credit card, please see Jodi at the registration desk. Thank you for your Happy Dollars! |
