Northampton – Cuyahoga Valley JACKPOT!
The weekly 50/50 drawing at the Northampton – Cuyahoga Valley Rotary Club luncheons can be quite profitable – for the winners AND the club! Combined with a “Queen of Hearts” card drawing, the 50-50 provides a nominal weekly prize to the lucky ticket holder PLUS a chance at a larger prize. Each week, 50/50 tickets are sold at $2.00 each. The pot is split – half to the club and half to the winning ticket holder. That ticket holder then gets the chance to draw for the Queen of Hearts from a deck of cards that shrinks each week until the Queen is drawn. As cards are drawn, they are disposed of until the Queen of Hearts is picked. At a recent meeting, long time club member Hans Becker won the daily drawing. What was left of the deck of cards was spread out in front of him. He studied the assortment and drew THE QUEEN OF HEARTS. Hans won $2700.00! Congratulations Hans! Until the queen is drawn – the number of cards decreases – increasing the odds and the suspense! Not only does the club have fun with the weekly drawing and chance at big winnings – but the club treasury benefits as members purchase tickets every week in hopes of a JACKPOT! Club Charter Member, Roger Edwards handles the 50/50 and coordinates the weekly drawing.

Foundation Giving – Northampton Rotarians Recognized
The Northampton – Cuyahoga Valley Rotary Club has long been committed to 100% participation in Foundation giving. The club is proud to be an “Every Rotarian Every Year” club, with every member committed to donating at least $100 annually to the Rotary Foundation. At their meeting on January 4th club member and PDG, David Jones presented “Paul Harris Society” certificates to Club President Elect Dean Thayer and Club Treasurer, Richard Potts. It was fitting that PDG Jones presented the certificates as he himself is a member of the Paul Harris Society. The Paul Harris Society designation is reserved for Rotarians who donate at least $1000 per year to the Rotary Foundation. Congratulations and THANK YOU to these generous donors.
