Committee News: District Grants 2024-25

We are working on two District Grants: one for 2024-25 & one still in development for 2025-26. This year we are going to repair some water damage to an apartment at Hillcrest Transitional Housing. Unlike last year where we had very little "sweat" equity, this year we will have to roll up our sleeves to remove damaged carpet, put down flooring, repair molding, and paint! More information about the DG under development for 2025-26 will be coming!

Committee News: Grant Committee

We are in the process of creating wonderful stories about our grant projects and are looking for "story tellers." District 6040 is setting up a folder on their web site to showcase Global Grants with the aim to encourage more clubs to pursue Global Grant projects. We have been granted access to create stories but need help to make them as entertaining and captivating as possible. Contact GG Manager Pat Knauss if interested in working on the project. patknauss.rotary@gmail.com

What Kind of Rotary Magic Will You Create in 2024-2025?

As we begin the 2024-2025 Rotary year, we have a chance to build on the numerous successes of the past year, to grow Rotary, and to continue to provide invaluable service in our local communities and around the world.

Our District 6040 leadership team is here to serve you as a club leader and Rotarian. To see who serves on the committees of the district, please visit https://rotary6040.org/DistrictOrganizationChartPhoto/2024.

A few of the initiatives of the district that you’ll see featured in the district newsletter throughout the year that I would encourage everyone to learn about are District Grants (every club Is encouraged to apply, and thanks to the generosity of our Rotarians in 2021-2022, we have a lot of funds to spend on District Grants this year), Global Grants (your club can participate in meaningful International Service without expending any club funds), Rotary Youth Exchange (consider hosting a student in 2025-2026 in your Rotary community), Rotary Friendship Exchange (travel the world), and the new Peace and Conflict Resolution anti-bullying program for girls called “Step Up”.
