A truck load of the coats was to be delivered to a Des Moines warehouse this week.
As soon as we know when the coats can be picked up, we will need someone (or two) pickups to go to Des Moines and bring the coats back to Indianola for distribution.
The Rotary Foundation Humanitarian Global Grant: Water and Sanitation; Tanzania, Kilimanjaro Region, Same District, Kigogo Sub-Village Has Been Approved
Hurrah! Today we received word that our Humanitarian Global Grant has been approved by the Rotary Foundation . We are pleased to share the letter from Rebeca Mendoza, Regional Grants Officer.
A very special thanks to each of you for being a part of this now approved Rotary Global Grant.
We will be in touch with you after financial requirements (as outlined in the attached letter from Rebeca Mendoza) are met. You will note it will take at least two-three more weeks to finalize these important financial matters.
We will keep you posted as grant implementation plans are developed. Please contact us if you or other members of your club have personal interest in becoming involved with project activities as they unfold in Tanzania.
Our identity is more than our logo and colors. It is the essence of who we are and what we do. The Strengthening Rotary initiative helps us tell that story in a compelling way. By providing a clear and consistent image of what Rotary stands for and how we differ from other charitable organizations, we offer prospective members, donors, and other stakeholders a compelling reason to engage with us.
Research conducted among Rotary members worldwide revealed insights about who we are
Rotary members are responsible leaders, both socially and ethically. We define leadership by mindset and approach, not labels or titles.
Connecting with each other and our communities will always be the driving force behind Rotary.
Rotary affects local communities on a global scale to create lasting change.
We found our voice:
Smart — we are insightful and discerning
Compassionate — we tackle community challenges with empathy and understanding
Persevering — we find lasting solutions to systemic problems
Inspiring — we encourage others to take action, conveying hope, enthusiasm, and passion
We defined three core ideas to help you describe Rotary to a new audience:
Rotary joins leaders from all continents, cultures, and occupations.
Rotary exchanges ideas, bringing our expertise and diverse perspectives to help solve some of the world’s toughest problems.
Rotary takes action to bring lasting change to communities around the world.
Our story hasn’t changed. But how we share it with the world is vital to our future. Through a unified Rotary look and clear and compelling voice, we are enhancing our legacy as one of the most widely recognized and respected organizations in the world.
