• The competition will feature tworounds with teams of two selecting a division from Amateur, Mixed, or Advanced. Advanced and the top 3 Mixed teams will receive cash payouts.
• Charities will receive payouts based on total earnings from various sources, including player fundraising, which is strongly encouraged and benefits the teams by enabling stroke subtractions from the team's final score.
• For every $50 (rounded down) of fundraising that is attributed to your team, one stroke will be removed from your teams final score. For example, if your team fundraises $650 in donations, then 6 strokes will be removed from your final score. There is no cap for strokes earned this way. 
• Additionally, attendees will have day-of opportunities to contribute and win prizes through a 50/50 raffle, an Ace Pool, the purchase of mulligans (max 2 per team, per hole), and a raffle for sponsor baskets.

Money Matters: Building Financial Literacy in Our Communities

Financial literacy can change lives—and Rotarians can help bring these essential skills into our communities.

From a young person’s first paycheck to a family’s housing decisions and an older adult’s retirement planning, understanding money builds confidence, independence and long-term security. But conversations about finances can feel complicated and intimidating. This seminar will help Rotarians better understand the issues and discover ways to make financial education more accessible in the communities we serve.

Join us on September 26 for the District Literacy Seminar and an engaging panel discussion covering:

• Budgeting and saving
• Credit and debt management
• Housing
• Taxes
• Insurance

Come learn, ask questions and explore how your club can help people of all ages make more informed financial decisions—and build stronger financial futures.
