Second part of the program is Art Wing speaking on the Foundation. He and his wife Jackie have made the Foundation their charity of choice. Janet Allen's father sponsored him into the St. Catharines Club.
 
Art explained the various levels of donation to the Foundation : Sustaining members (100 $ a year) Paul Harris Society members (1 000  $ each year), and  Paul Harris Society Members  (10 000 $ each year). He also encourages members to become benefactors by leaving a donation to the Foundation in their will.
