Let’s Talk Fundraising
 
Global Grant Initiative - Haiti Sanitation Project: 
 
Few of our club members have been working on a global grant project and we are looking for more volunteers for the next steps of the project which include grant writing, public speaking and fundraising. These are great skills to learn or bring to the table if you already have experience. All the help is welcome! Connect with Jananee - jananeesnathan@gmail.com if you are interested or want to learn more!
