Small Gifts Application Season Open!
The Plattsburgh Rotary Club is announcing a request for proposals from local organizations to benefit our community. The Club is asking that all requests for this Rotary year be submitted for review by October 29, 2021.
The Club has a limited amount of money to be distributed to local organizations and therefore, the maximum grant that can be received is $500. These grants are given to organizations serving a larger population and a greater good, not to an individual. All grants are given toward special projects and not for the general operations of the organization or for fundraising. Specific events such as walks, golf tournaments, etc. will not be considered. Special funding is available for Youth-At-Risk programs that positively impact individuals under the age of 18. For questions, please email Kerry Haley.
New Member Orientation
There will be a New Member Orientation on Friday, October 29 at 8 a.m. This is a requirement to move from Red to Blue Badge. Orientation will be held in person at Steve Kende’s office, 53 Court St. Please e-mail Steve Kende to let him know you are attending.
