OnePledge 2022-2023 – Rotary Expedition Africa Playground

Watch the 10-4-22  OnePledge Announcement from President Wes  

Fellow Rotarians:

At the October 4 meeting,  we announced the OnePledge Committee has selected the Rotary Expedition Africa Playground at the Oklahoma City Zoo & Botanical Garden for the 2022-2023 Rotary Project.

The Rotary Expedition Africa Playground will be located in a 14 acre African savannah and lush rainforest within the heart of the zoo complex – giving zoo visitors the experience of taking a journey to Africa (a continent that remarkably less than one tenth of 1% of all Americans will ever visit) to see its amazing wildlife and become inspired to protect the animals from the African continent.  The Children’s Play Area will be located inside the historic pachyderm building and will be the only indoor play space at the Zoo and is thus expected to be among the most highly trafficked areas at the Zoo!

As you know, this is the one combined annual project in which we, as a Club, ask 100% of our members to participate. In addition to providing $85,000 for the Rotary Expedition Africa Playground, Club 29 will be funding High School Rotarian scholarships and books for our Literacy Project… all through this one donation.  A total of $110,000 is needed.

Please take this opportunity to Answer the Call by making your pledge TODAY.    If you contributed to last years OnePledge, we hope you’ll consider increasing your donation for these important projects!

We have made it very easy for you. Please donate or pledge by clicking on the following link. It takes no time at all.
