Paul concluded the meeting with more information regarding Foundation. He encouraged the Club to be more pro-active and look at District Website to identify which Projects are already in place. We are already involved with RC Ascot in their Water Project in Timor Leste. Using District Grants to set up Projects with another Club is a positive way forward. He suggested we could do our own Project with our Rotaract Club.
