Catch-up

July 1, 2014

1st meeting with Kathleen at the helm as President.   We had a couple of visitors Joe Hinges from the Dove Mountain Club and the Membership Chair for District 5500 also Teree Bergman from the Sunrise Club, Regional Rotary Foundation Coordinator who was also our speaker.

David Lightfoot is celebrating his Birthday on July 3rd, I will let you guess how old he is - but here is a hint:  he gave a dollar for every year of life, a total of $78.00.

Congratulation to all the members of our club, 2nd year in a row we have had 100% participation in donation to the Rotary Foundation.

Marana Rotary Foundation, was awarded a $1000.00 grant in honor of john Dooling for the Allstate Foundation. The grant is called the "Hands in the Community Grant".  Thank you John for all you do!

Teree, said her job is to help us with grants in the 2014-2014 year, District Grants can be used in our own community .  The clubs can get $4000.00 the grant request must be written with goals and objectives.  The global Grants are minimum of $30,000 and must be something that is sustainable like water treatment or educational process that will show a long-term effect, etc.

Remember the money you donate to Rotary Foundation is used to make a difference in the world everytime you see the Rotary logo on something remember you helped bring that to life.  The foundation dollars are used towards world hunger, literacy, poverty etc.
