Rotary Foundation’s Environment Area of Focus

June 17 Webinar: Learn How to Apply for Global Grants for the Environment

By Dr. Mina Venkataraman, ESRAG Projects Chair

ESRAG’s Projects Division is offering this introductory webinar to help your club develop a Global Grant project under The Rotary Foundation’s Environment Area of Focus. Register here. The webinar runs from noon to 3:00 pm UTC.

ESRAG members from TRF’s Environment Cadre will explain the basic requirements to build a successful project and proposal. The Rotary Foundation’s Environment Guidelines describe ten different action goals under which you can propose a global grant project. These include conservation, agriculture, climate, energy and electricity, resilience, and circular economy, each with many inspiring options. ESRAG’s Projects Division will offer a workshop on each action goal, over the coming months.

You can download the Guidelines through MyRotary under “Area of Focus Resources.”

Dear readers!

Annual dues are only USD $30 for Rotarians and USD $15 for Rotaractors. You can save a little and help a lot by choosing a five-year membership.

As more Rotarians seek trustworthy guidance on how to respond to the humanitarian impact of the world's escalating environmental crises, your dues will help ESRAG provide webinars, and post the recordings, project write-ups, manuals, and technical resources on our website, where these vital tools can be read in several languages. It also supports the communications and virtual gatherings of our thirteen Regional Chapters around the world.

Our July issue focuses on Sustainable Living. August's is on Circular Economy. 
 
Let us know if you’re working on projects that fit either theme. We’d love to publish your own write-ups, or are glad to set up an interview if you’d prefer.
 
The deadline for July stories is July 2.

How Many in Your Party? 

 
Once again - we are planning the annual Rotary Installation Dinner and need our club to confirm attendance.
 
The event is a lovely evening of camaraderie held at the beautiful Sunset Ridge Country Club. The evening starts with cocktails at six, followed by dinner and our program.
 
We will say goodbye to President Mitch, a welcome Sandy who will fill those shoes. Our newly appointed board will be installed as well.
 
This is a wonderful evening to include friends and family, but we must confirm tickets this week. PLEASE reach out to Elke.
