Board Meeting Report

Here are some highlights from the December 10 board meeting:

The Arlington Rotary Foundation has been recognized as a 501 (c)(3) organization by the I.R.S.  Contributions may be routed through the foundation. e.g. food basket donations.

Funding requests were approved:  Eagle Wings Ministries  for $500 and Healing Fund for $2,000 (for their Panama trip in March).  Both of these projects we have funded in the past.  

The water projects in Kenya are going forward with additional funds approved for recent travel and grant requests in pocess.

Criteria for funding SR 530 slide victims will be reviewed by the board of our foundation.

Paul has put in a request for a grant from the City's hotel tax to help defray 2/3rds of the cost of the fireworks display we are sponsoring for 4th of July.

The club will pay the tuition for members who want to attend the Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) in Mount Vernon Jan. 24 at Cottonwood Tree Inn.

We are still waiting for any funds from the Rotary Wine Club--forms completed.
