These opportunities are made possible thanks to a generous donation to TRF by the LDS Charities.
Why is District 5420 offering this opportunity?
- It helps District 5420 Rotarian's do more good in the world by increasing the giving and support to TRF using matching FRP’s provided by the LDS Charities.

- Give to TRF to immediately become a Multiple Paul Harris Fellow
- Give to TRF to immediately become a new Paul Harris Society Member
To recieve your matching points, email a copy of the donation form or receipt to Errol EerNisse at errol@xmission.com. Errol will transfer the points from the Foundation Recognition Points Opportunity.
There are two ways to receive matching points:
The 1 for 1 Match
If you want to immediately become a Paul Harris Fellow or a multiple Paul Harris Fellow, now is the time.
Starting on May 16, 2014, contributions greater than or equal to $100.00 to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus or an approved Global Grant of The Rotary Foundation that will take you to the Paul Harris Fellow level or Paul Harris Fellow multiple level if matched 1:1 with a transfer of Foundation Recognition Points (FRP’s) will be matched.
Example 1a: If your current Recognition Amount is at 400 and you make a contribution of $300.00 to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus or an approved Global Grant of The Rotary Foundation, it will be matched with 300 non-transferable FRP’s bringing you to the 1,000 Recognition Amount and you become a Paul Harris Fellow. (400 existing Recognition Amount+ 300 recognition from your contribution + 300 non-transferrable FRP’s from the match =1,000 Recognition Amount)
Example 1b: If your current Recognition Amount is at 1,400, 2,400, etc., the donations and non-transferrable FRP’s of Example 1a will move you to Paul Harris Fellow +1, +2, etc.
Example 2: You make a contribution of $500.00 to the Annual Fund, PolioPlus or an approved Global Grant of The Rotary Foundation, it will be matched with 500 non-transferrable FRP’s and you are a Paul Harris Fellow. (500 recognition from your contribution + 500 non-transferrable FRP’s from the match =1000 Recognition Amount)
The 1 for 2 Match
This match has the added benefit of reduced administrative costs at TRF, and therefore is being offered as a 1 for 2 match.
Starting on May 16, 2014, if you make a contribution equal to or greater than $100.00 to the Annual Fund or PolioPlus through Rotary Direct (Rotary’s re-occurring giving program) to immediately become a Paul Harris Fellow or a multiple Paul Harris Fellow, you gift will be matched 1:2 with FRP’s.
Example 3a: : If your current Recognition Amount is at 100 and you sign to make an annual contribution of $300.00 through Rotary Direct to the Annual Fund, or PolioPlus , it will be matched with 600 non-transferable FRP’s. (100 Recognition Amount+ 300 recognition from your contribution + 600 non-transferrable FRP’s from the match =1,000 Recognition Amount)
Example 3b: : If your current Recognition Amount is at 1,100, 2,100, etc., the donations and non-transferrable FRP’s of Example 3a will move you to Paul Harris Fellow +1, +2, etc.
Example 4: You sign up to become a NEW annual Paul Harris Society contributor of $1,000.00 through Rotary Direct with a gift to the Annual Fund, or PolioPlus , it will be matched with 2,000 non-transferrable FRP’s and you are a Paul Harris Fellow+2.

SPEAKER
David Rogers introduces our speaker
David Rogers introduced today's speaker Chief John King, of the Provo Police Department. Chief King was selected by Mayor Curtis as our new Police Chief in December 2013. Prior to coming to Provo, Chief King had a 30 year distinguished career in law enforcement. This includes being Director of the Police Academy at Hagerstown Community College, being the Chief of the City of Gaithersburg, Maryland Police Department, being the Director of Education and Training for the Baltimore Police Department and being a State Department presenter and adviser at numerous overseas locations.
Chief King talked about the remarkably low crime rate in Provo when compared to other cities our size. He also noted that the department was about one third the size of comparable cities. He talked about the New York City model of enforcing the small things, which had a big impact on reducing the crime rate. In answer to questions, he indicated concern that gangs have recently surfaced in the city. And the biggest drug issue seems to be Meth.
