The wait is over: You’ve been chompin’ at the bit to tell us what service projects we should do as a club, and this is your chance! Submittal forms will be available by this Wednesday. All project proposals will require an endorsement from a member of our club who will serve as an advocate for the project, clarify information and ensure that the project aligns with the club’s service project criteria.
We will rely on you to get this information out to the organizations you support.
Two types of projects can be submitted: Short-term service projects (anticipated budget from $0 - $500 that can be accomplished in a limited number of work days) and Community Improvement Projects (budget from $25,000 to $50,000 that can be accomplished within a Rotary year). The committee anticipates selecting four short-term projects (to be performed one per quarter during 2015) plus a Community Improvement Project beginning in Fall 2015 with completion by Spring 2016. Fundraising for this project would begin upon selection.
Criteria for the projects:
(Click on the image to open the document in a new window.)
We seek projects that our members will want to support through monetary donations and/or volunteer time as well as projects that will promote the visibility of the club and its mission.
The selection process:
Proposals are due in the Rotary office by close of business November 14, 2014.
Finalists will be selected by the end of December, 2014.
Club members will have an opportunity to provide input on the types of projects they would like to support with their money and/or time.
The committee will present a recommendation to the Board at its January 2015 meeting for both short-term service projects and a Community Improvement Project.
Ready to get started? Proposal forms are available at Rotary meetings each week, from the Rotary office, and on the club website.
Rotary Club of Beaumont Selected as Conference Host!
The city of Beaumont is the location for the 2015 Rotary District 5910 Conference, and the Rotary Club of Beaumont was asked to host this grand event.
Delegates from the 40 clubs in our District will be invited to attend the event which was held in College Station in 2014. The Committee has met to begin formulating plans and the excitement is already growing.
The initial planning group consisting of District Conference Chair Becky Mason and co-chairs of the 2013 Large Club Conference Bobbie Applegate and Angela Baker decided on the theme "Spotlight on District 5910" around which the annual celebration of club and district successes will be designed. Paula Bothe and Four Alarm Productions created the classy and colorful logo for the event.
Club members will be invited to help and participate, and we hope you will want to join in the fun. Save the Dates of May 1-3, 2015!
The reports of the October 15 meetings summed up the experience with words like fun, educational, great fellowship, lots of laughs and more. Thanks to all who captured some of the fun in photos and sent them in to share. Access the photo album here.
