Program
The Club learned about three Global Service Project Opportunities. We will have an opportunity to review them and vote via survey for the one we’d like to support. There are handouts available explaining each in detail (also see below hyperlinks). All Club Members are encouraged to review and give careful consideration to each opportunity prior to the vote.
Warm Hearts Foundation – Paul Brink explained the opportunity to build a new high school in Malawi Africa
Christ’s Hope International – Dave Case explained the opportunity to provide backpacks filled with supplies to children orphaned by AIDS in Tanzania Africa. There is also opportunity for a business to business symposium.
Health and Humanitarian Outreach Project– Peter Raphael explained the opportunity to install water filters and/or build sanitation facilities in remote villages of Honduras.
As a Rotarian in this 5-county Grand Traverse region we have the amazing opportunity to double our charitable contributions with a 1:1 match through the Rotary Charities Matching Gift Program (up to $250 annually)!
Recipients must be non-profit, tax-exempt organizations with operations in the five counties of Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska and Leelanau and fit within the guidelines of the Rotary Fund.
