T•SHIRT FUNDRAISER

A big "thanks!" to those of you who have purchased a Rotary t-shirt in support of the DuBard School at Southern Miss! Some have asked when they will receive their shirts. All orders will be shipped 7-10 days after the successful completion of the campaign, i.e. when the goal of 50 shirts sold is met.

Currently, there have been 20 shirts sold netting a profit of $105 with an additional $88 received in donations. We're almost halfway there!

We hope you will consider purchasing a shirt if you have not already. Click the yellow and blue graphic below to select from the three different options (e.g. short sleeve, long sleeve, retro baseball-t).
