As our year draws to a close I thought members would be interested in seeing how our our Clubs have utilised The Rotary Foundation through District Grants and Global Grants.
My thanks to Graham Richardson for preparing this report.
My thanks to Graham Richardson for preparing this report.
And my congratulations to all these Clubs for initiating these projects. Clearly, without funding from The Rotary Foundation these projects would not be possible.
It is vital that as Clubs and individual Rotarians, we continue to support our Foundation.
