Foundation Assembly at Our Luncheon on August 25th

Posted on Aug 26, 2016

Kudos to RCAAN's Rotary Foundation Chair Rick Jarzembowski and Treasurer Jeff Crause for explaining in simple terms at today's Club Assembly, the value derived from giving under programs such as Every Rotarian Every Year and the Paul Harris Fellowship. They explained succinctly with examples how member donations to the Rotary International Foundation circle back after three years into new funds a club can use for launching global and simplified grant projects.

Manish Mehta showed a video on how the power of networking and collaborating with other Rotary clubs, enabled our club to successfully leverage its relatively modest investments in 2015, and to launch two large Global Grant projects on sanitation, totaling $200,000. Nearly 1000 new toilets in the Sundarbans, India will transform nearly 10,000 lives. These two projects received site visits by six Club members last March.
