2023 Christmas cards results

The profit from our 2023 project is an amazing £7,960.59 with a profit per pack of 10 cards of £2.73, which is 57% of the selling price.


Greetings Rotarians

You will be pleased to know that your Christmas Cards were despatched over the previous 2 weeks and tracking shows they have been delivered.
 
I promised the final figures before the end of January, and in fact already have them.

The profit from our 2023 project is an amazing £7,960.59 with a profit per pack of 10 cards of £2.73, which is 57% of the selling price.
Your club's End Polio Now account will be credited very shortly with £2.73 for each pack of 10 cards purchased, at The Rotary Foundation Currency Exchange Rate in effect at the time of receipt, and will attract The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation double matching. This has exactly the same effect as a direct donation from your club.

With a massive thank you to everyone who helped make this such a success,
 including the RFUK Trustees, District Foundation Chairmen and End Polio Now Champions, and many other supporters. Thanks also to all the Elves (that includes partners) from my club who packed the cards and envelopes into cello bags of 10 per pack. We have an annual Elves' Party at home and have a wonderful time of food, drink (non alchofrolic of course), very hard work, fellowship and fun. The ELVES have now left the building..
Thank you for supporting this project and End Polio Now.
Have a Great Christmas and New Year.

Yours in Rotary
