News
Metro Receives Grant
On August 31, Rotary District 6080 announced that Columbia Metro Rotary was awarded a District Simplified Grant in the amount of $1,000. These funds will enable a Rain and Butterfly garden to be constructed at the Park Avenue Child and Family Development Center Playground (below)! This project will have a positive impact on the students we currently reach through our Partner in Education relationship with the Columbia Public Schools’ Title I Program. In addition, Columbia Metro Rotary will provide over $1,700 in matching funds to complete this project.
A special thank you to Andrew Stone for authoring this grant proposal, and to all Rotarians who assisted in the application assembly and process.
Upcoming Metro Social
Make plans to attend the Metro Social event planned for Thursday, September 2. The gathering will be from 5-7 pm on the upper deck at Harpo’s (29 South 10th Street). This is a good chance to reconnect with veteran Rotarians and an opportunity to get to know new members.
Note: Make-up attendance credit will be given to everyone who attends this event.
Thanks . . .
to all Metro Rotarians who supported the Missouri Tigers Score Against Hunger campaign for the Central Missouri Food Bank.
Thanks!
