Clubs multiply their money for local and international projects by getting matching funds from District 5950 and Rotary International. To qualify for a matching grant, the applying club must have at least one member attend a Grant Management Seminar (GMS) each year.
 
GMS sessions that fulfill that 2016–17 Rotary year requirement include:
New Ulm - Saturday, March 19, 8:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. (4-hour complete class)
Golden Valley - Thursday, March 31, 3:30-8 p.m. (4-hour complete class)
U of M/Mankato/Edina location - Saturday, April 9, 9:15-11:45 a.m. during the District Assembly (2-hour refresher)
Golden Valley - Thursday, April 14, 5:30-8 p.m. (2-hour refresher)
Golden Valley - Saturday, April 23, 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m. (4-hour complete class)  
Monticello - Thursday, April 28, 3:30-8 p.m. (4-hour complete class)
 
Each club should identify at least one member who will represent your club at a GMS and then lead your grant submissions during the 2016-17 year. Only previously-trained individuals may take the abbreviated refresher class.
 
Registration materials will be sent to club presidents. Each session is limited to 20 participants. To secure a convenient date, please register promptly!
