Josh Quinn, our Rotary Foundation Chair, gave a presentation on The Rotary Foundation at the Clubs November 4, 2014 Dinner Meeting. The morning before, Bill Shoffler also gave a presentation on the Rotary Foundation at the club's breakfast meeting.

 

 

After Josh’s presentation, Linda McCrillis discussed ways to donate to the foundation and the recognition available for those contributions. She also announced that we will match donations through the end of the year; for each $1 a club member donates to The Rotary Foundation, the club will match with one point toward their next Paul Harris award. For example, if you contribute $500 we will match it with 500 points.

 

Your support to The Rotary Foundation helps our community as 50% of our contributions to the Annual Fund returns to the area in the form of District Grants. Linda mentioned local projects that have benefited from District Grants including an anti-bullying program with NOVA and the Roxy Reading project to give Roxy Puppies (stuffed dogs) for kids in dependency court.

 

Josh and Linda would like your grant ideas for both District Grants of $15,000 and less and International Grants of $30,000 or more.  We can propose international grants in the US by partnering with an international club.
