Since July 2021, Daniel Sarberg has been the new president of the Rotary Club of Deauville (Calvados). Among the projects of his mandate is, for this brand new year, the operation yellow coins.
This operation is in the worthy vein of that initiated by the Foundation of French hospitals. Brigitte Macron succeeds Bernadette Chirac and has joined the services of Didier Deschamps, coach of the French football team.
For the first year, on the initiative of the club of Deauville, the Rotary clubs of Calvados offered their support: “We contacted the Foundation of the hospitals of France to inform them that we would like to carry out an action uniting all the Rotarians of Normandy, in order to help the pediatric departments of the two hospitals,” explains Claude Sarberg, whose goal is to finance two projects for a total amount of €40,000 that the Rotarians of the 60 Normandy clubs hope to bring together.
“We bought 1,000 piggy banks that we made ourselves. In previous years, La Poste gave away these piggy banks but the Fondation de France wanted each trader to make their own piggy bank. However, we wanted to make a model with the effigy of Rotary. We are starting to distribute them to traders, ”explains the president.
For the Côte Fleurie heart community, 400 piggy banks will be left with merchants wishing to contribute to the collection of yellow coins: “We are going to rely on the Union of Merchants, Industrialists and Craftsmen of Deauville (Uciad)” completes the Rotarian .
An electronic kitty
Piggy banks at merchants are not the only way to collect donations. “There is also an electronic kitty, indicates the president of the Deauville club. The Foundation of French Hospitals asked us to provide them with a whole list of email addresses of our friends or companies that we know well in order to send them, on our behalf, a form intended to allow them to put the sum ‘they wish. The advantage of going through this system is that it allows you to obtain a tax deduction of 10%”.
The total result of the operation will be obtained by adding the amount of the piggy banks and that of the electronic kitty.
Brigitte Macron invited to Deauville
Claude and the members of his club have decided to organize an event in order to hand over the check to the Fondation des Hôpitaux de Paris. And for the party to be complete, they had the idea of inviting Brigitte Macron: “We will wait until the presidential election is over and we hope that she will respond favorably to our request”.
