Introducing the Wenatchee Rotary Foundation Legacy Society. This program was the unveiling of the opportunity to add to our Foundation's Corpus by making a bequest through your estate planning, will, and/or life insurance to the Wenatchee Rotary Foundation. Russ Speidel, Tyler Mickey and Beth Stipe (some of the WRF officers) outlined the Why, How and Benefits of this opportunity.
All members of Wenatchee Rotary are members of the WRF. See club website for the list of officers (or scroll down). The Legacy Society will be a forever donation to the financial stability of the Foundation. Since this is our Centennial Year, we hope to have 100 members join the Legacy Society by the end of Kory's term as President. We will be contacting members, as well as people in the community who support the WRF mission. The funds will continue to go toward scholarships and educational purposes. The Legacy Society documents and membership form will be available in an attachment on our website, www.wenatcheerotary.org. You can contact the Wenatchee Rotary Foundation through our email, wenatcheerotaryfoundation@gmail.com. This is an exciting opportunity to be supporter of our Wenatchee Rotary Foundation as we continue to support our community in developing strong, healthy and educated leadership.
