Join fellow Rotarians on Saturday, November 7 at 9:00 a.m., as we honor our veterans with a special walk at Elings Park’s Veterans Walk, a 1,500-foot, tree-lined landscaped pathway dedicated to honoring local service members.

After the walk, those interested can join for fellowship at Mesa Cafe.

In order for our club to be eligible to apply for grants in 2027/2028, our President Elect and one other member from our club must be qualified. To achieve this, these two need to attend one Grant Management Seminar. Kirk and at least one other member is schedule to attend one of these meetings but others are invited to learn about the process.

This is critical: clubs that do not have two qualified members will not be able to access their District Designated Fund (DDF) allocation for grants next year and they will not be able to be the international partner on a global grant.

There are four seminar dates to choose from. Registration is not required — attend whichever session works best for your schedule. The same Zoom link below works for all four:
