PART 2 - Further District Grants Information from Myrna Inglis, Chair

May 31, 2023 is fast approaching So, what’s the big deal? - you might ask.

• May 31 is the DEADLINE for Final Reports on current projects.

• May 31 is the DEADLINE for proposals for next Rotary year.

To date, 12 projects have been funded with a total of $19,011 USD District Grant funds. Final reports are due for another 16 projects.

The projects have been awe-inspiring this year, so I have asked some of the Clubs to share their projects. They appear in the submissions following this information.

Rotary Club of St Mary’s– Ukrainian Refugee Local Support – Total project - $5,811.43 USD, Grant $1,937 USD

Rotary Club of Wiarton - Madoka Seniors Center – Total Project Budget-$4,708.59 USD, Grant - $1,500 USD (not funded yet)

Rotary Club of Marysville - Kits for a Cause – Total Project $3,355 USD, Grant - $1,119 USD. The Club organized the purchased, preparation, and distribution of hygiene kits for homeless/shelter students in their local schools, in partnership with the county's Regional Educational Service Agency, who identifies/distributes the kits to the students. 500 kits were prepared.

Let’s look forward to 2023-2024 projects.

• Do you have 2 qualified members in your club?

• Has the MOU 2302-2024 been signed and submitted?

• Don’t know where to look for this information? On the District Home page, go to the drop-down menu under Rotary Foundation and both are located there under the District Grants tab. To date, only 4 Clubs are fully Qualified and no proposals for 2023-2024 have been submitted.

I am looking forward to receiving all the final reports ASAP and anticipating the proposals for 2023-2024.
