The McMurray Rotary Club approved $45,000 in Philan-thropic donations for the 2010 year. This was achieved as a result of the hard work of each club member, selling tickets and working the Spaghetti Dinner, The Charity Gala, the garage sale and the Blood Testing. Everyone should be congratulated for their hard work. A detailed breakdown of the donations is available on the spread sheet prepared by Philanthropy Chair Dick Mason. Shown on the pie chart is a b r e a k d o w n

based on the general categories of giving, International, Community, Food, Children, Health. Some of the larger contributions were The Cali Orphanage $6.000, College Scholarships $5,500, Shelter Boxes $3,000, Water Filters $1,980, Washington County Watershed Alliance $1,500, Genesis Washing-ton County and Meals on Wheels $1,300. Many of the programs could be considered in multiple categories, I used my best judg-ment as to which category a char-ity is categorized.
