RM Rotary makes top 10 in holiday kettle collections

Published February 6, 2010

The Rotary Club of Rancho Murieta has just received confirmation that we made the Salvation Army "Volunteer Service Clubs Top Ten 2009 Kettle Program" List.

We rated #7 this year with $1,570.96 in contributions.  If you recall, we only rang for 3 hours on three days during the holidays...this means that our generous community provided $174.55 every hour that we rang the bell!

Thank you to all that donated time, thank you to the Plaza Market for allowing us to share space, and most of all thank you to the Rancho Murieta Community for the generous giving that defines our citizens.

Next year, let's get to the top!!!!

  • Rotary Club of East Sacramento: $6,019.04

    What a generous community!

    Thanks for the story, look out East Sacramento, we're gunning for your spot

    It is heartwarming to witness the continuing generousity of our community, especially during these trying times.  Thanks to all who donated, this is a very special community  with special people!

    Rotary will be in front of the Plaza Market  today 10-12 collecting for the Haiti relief effort, so please stop by to donate if you can!
