CG Rotaract Happy Dollars
At each club meeting, members throw down some cash to tell everyone good news or something we are happy about. Buy-in is $1, though enthusiasts have been known to throw in fives and tens.
In the fall of 2010, we participated in a global project to raise funds for the Restavek Freedom Foundation's work in Haiti, organized by our twin club. http://rotaract-restavek.tumblr.com/
In December 2009, we collected over $500 to send used fire-fighting equipment to Nicaragua in a joint project working with Rotaractor Luis Adolfo, also a volunteer firefighter in Managua, Nicaragua.
Other happy dollar causes have included PolioPlus -- the Rotary-led initiative to eradicate Polio across the globe; the Guitars Over Guns Operation -- a local music education initiative founded by Chad Bernstein (of Suenalo and Spam Allstars fame); and Communication Integration -- a nonprofit aimed at increasing technology and education access domestically and in developing nations, which worked in partnership with Project Medishare in Haiti following the earthquake in January 2010.
Clearly, we are a very happy club.
