District Grant applications are due June 1st and applying Clubs must have a Grant Team established to apply.
There is a $3,000 per Club max match grant available dependent upon the Club’s per capita giving history with up to $12,000 match per grant. Multiple Clubs could partner on an application. If each contributed $3,000 x 4 Clubs = $12,000 then District Rotary could potentially match up to $12,000 for a total $24,000 project budget.
I had initially suggested to the Board that we consider applying for a project to conduct Human Trafficking education for businesses along the Faribault/I-35 corridor such as truck stops and hotels. If you have an interest in joining a Grant Team to work on an application or if you have another Project idea, please contact me.
From Rod Mahler:
Congratulations to all of you that put on our 100th celebration last Friday. You did a fantastic job and how great it was to see all the Rotarians from the past plus our current members. I sure miss being with you. Thank you, Thank you.
From Dick Huston:
I continue to monitor the Little Libraries at SSC and Our Saviors about every 4-5 days. Children's books continue to get used on a pretty consistent basis. I shop for groceries each time before i go to put in one of the libraries at Our Saviors and kinda learned what folks like and don't like. It has been a fun and pretty interesting exercise.
I will miss the meeting this week because of a really special event that day!!!!!!!
From past president and former member, Darlene Meillier:
Great job on your Rotary 100th presentation.
