The Denton Rotary Club is assembling an International Service Projects Committee. This is a wonderful opportunity to be part of the planning process that will decide if our club has an interest in an opportunity to serve outside the US.

 

If you are interested in a place on this committee, you are invited to our first exploratory planning meeting. Learn about how The Rotary Foundation funds international projects. Did you know that in the 20201-2022 Rotary, The Rotary Foundation approved and funded 1,199 Global Grants totaling $73 million? These projects and funds changed people’s lives forever. And the lives of Rotarians are also changed forever.

 

Please join us to explore the opportunities our club has to change lives and communities around the world.Date: Tuesday, June 20Time: 6:00 PM-7:30PMLocation: The Cosmic Tulip (private house) at 2316 Houston Place, Denton.

On June 8, Dr. Pam Trocki -Ables presented a unique and much needed program  at UNT.  ELEVAR is a post secondary education for students with intellectual disabilities (ID).  It provides a full college experience to a small group of students who want additional schooling in preparation for a career.  An important aspect of the program is that UNT ELEVAR welcomes their students into the Mean Green family.  ELEVAR students have access to the full course catalogue at UNT for zero-credit (non degree seeking) classes focused on career interests.  In addition they participate in classes designed for their needs e.g, life skills, financial literacy, career planning and health and wellness.   ELEVAR students attend events and participate in traditional activities and dorm life alongside all other UNT students.

 

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or benefactor or you know someone who wishes to apply for ELEVAR please visit https://elevar.unt.edu
