Congratulations Fellow JH Rotarians

Everyone is a donor to our recent Global Grant to improve the schools in the black township of Grahamstown, South Africa. The club and our club foundation each made a contribution to this huge $400,000+ Rotary Grant. We'll keep you updated on the progress of the remodels at the seven schools affecting over 5000 students. In the meantime, take a look at this short 1 minute video explaining all the work of The Rotary Foundation (TRF). Continue your donations to earn Paul Harris recognition (named after the founder of Rotary) as we each fulfill our obligation of donating $100 annually to TRF to ensure our work around the world and in our local communities.

Thank you,

Stuart

Rotary Club of Jackson Hole's TRF committee chair
