  10. 9. What’s a District Simplified Grant? • It’s a grant derived from 20% of the District’s DDF return in any one year. It can be used for local or international projects. • It’s a way TRF board has modified all grants to be easier to apply for. • It’s an easily obtainable grant for clubs which have never before donated to TRF

  11. 10. The following are true about TRF (check all that apply – you must pick all the right answers to get credit for this question) • Arch Klumph had a weird name and a superb idea • TRF really became a force after the death of Paul Percy Harris • We are training our fourth class of Rotary Peace Fellows at this time. • There are twenty centers around the world for the World Peace Fellow Program • Each Rotary District may nominate 5 candidates for the World Peace Fellows Program

What’s a TRF Sustainer? • That’s a member who has had the fortitude to listen to a lecture about TRF. • That’s a member, previously known as Senior Active, who has decided to STAY with Rotary • That’s a Rotarian who has invested $100 per year in TRF, or who has had that amount RAISED for him or her by a club fundraiser, etc.

  13. 12. I’d like to have my business make my TRF donations by credit card. Is THAT okay? • Yes, and you might even get frequent flyer miles if it’s put on an eligible credit card! • No

  14. 13. Couldn’t our club’s board of directors just levy $25 with our dues bill each quarter and we’d all be Sustainers? • Yes, if those funds were deposited into the general operating fund of the club and used for club social functions • Yes, if those funds were promptly remitted to TRF

  15. 14. There’s a checkblock on the TRF donor form for APF/SHARE option. What’s that? • This option lets TRF send all the funds right to the most needy country! • This option brings back half of my investment back to OUR district in three years! • The country of “APF” (African Peoples’ Federation) in Central Africa will share in these funds immediately!

  16. 15. TRF alumni should be encouraged to: • Speak to Civic and Rotary groups about their experiences • Become Rotarians • Discuss the program in which they participated and recommend it to friends • Come to the district conference • All of the above
