Summary of Weekly Meeting
Date: Monday 21 November 2005
Thought of the Week:
This week’s Rotary Foundation Thought is about District Simplified Grants.
The Rotary Foundation District Simplified Grants program allows Rotary clubs to identify, plan and fund worthy projects in their own communities or internationally. All Rotary clubs are eligible to apply for District Designated Funds to help support worthy projects in our own communities. Projects such as Toys for Tots, purchasing kitchen equipment for a food shelter, providing financial assistance for after school programs for at-risk children, or making improvements to a playground, are examples of worthwhile District Simplified Grants. The more funds raised for The Rotary Foundation Annual Programs Fund-SHARE, the more funds available for us to do good work here in our own towns and cities as well as internationally. This is yet another of many examples of what gives us Rotarians a great sense of pride of being Rotarians and making a difference in this world.
