Join us for our virtual President Changeover Meeting Tuesday June 30th at 6:30pm
On May12th, Anne Brubacher Chair of Local Allocations led a presentation of the Local Allocations committee members on the various schools supported by our club this year. The committee worked hard to allocate funds in accordance with our belief statement and had difficult decisions with 32 total applications for significantly more than our budget. Hopefully we can continue to make a big splash in some small ponds. Unfortunately with the current situation we are forced to have our annual celebration in a somewhat different form but all the recipients have been notified and the cheques have been sent.
