Changing the lives of the Women in Timoulilt, Morocco.
Dear fellow Rotarians,
First of all, I would like to express my thanks and appreciation for your hospitality and the opportunity for me to speak to your wonderful club. You have the best lunch and set up of all the clubs I have spoken to.
Any help and support we get from your club will be greatly appreciated by me and the women in the Moroccan village.
Below is a link with a summary of the project and how to make contributions online.
Contributions can also be made to: WNRCF, 620 Lincoln Ave., Winnetka, IL. 60093
Looking forward to visiting you again and collaborating with your club on any future humanitarian projects.
Yours in Rotary service.
The Rotary Club of Winnetka-Northfield is teaming up with The Rotary Foundation and the Rotary Club of Rabat in the capital city of Morocco to establish a women's clothing cooperative in the village of Timoulilt.
This will be a project funded in part with a Rotary Foundation Global Grant (GG#2571461).
The program's objectives are to:
Create a revenue-generating cooperative run by stakeholders of village women/girls;
Empower women to run and manage a long-term sustainable and profitable business operation.
The project funds new equipment and training for the cooperative's participants. Training will encompass technical use of the equipment, entrepreneurial skills, business planning and management, sales and marketing planning, and financial management.
The program's vision is to create a self-sustaining long term business enterprise for the participating women in Timoulilt.
Overall program budget is $100,000. The club is seeking cash and District Designated Funds (DDF) support from Rotary Clubs and Districts.
Each ticket entitles the holder eligibility for the $1500 raffle prize, a bingo card, usable for all games and complimentary drinks and snacks. Tickets may be purchased at the event. Guests, other than ticket purchasers, will be charged $15 and receive all of the preceding except eligibility for the $1500 raffle prize.
Online tickets may be purchased by anyone through Rally Up at the below link. Rotarians who sell paper tickets should give the stubs with payment to Debbie Madeley, or if not available, to Denis Pollina.

Let's celebrate Rotarian Rick Rosenfeld of Journey Softly, whose work with our
Coat off Your Back, helped secure this award. He pulled together several Rotary Clubs and coordinated a drive with logistics and outreach that served not only those in need locally - but also assisting refugees coming into Chicagoland. Please join us at this event where you will also meet many corporate citizens, and the GBN Incubator Class.
