Required grant training offered
Posted by Steve Johnson (Monticello) GMS Chair
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!
