Metro Receives Grant

jim — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:27:02 +0000

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.

The new Rotary year has begun just as we expected with lots of exciting things happening! We have continued with our excellent weekly programming, club events are being planned and our exchange student has arrived!

On the committe front, it appears all committees are now formed and have met to set their annual goals and plan how to best reach those milestones. With the leaders we have in place, I have no doubt this will be a banner year for Metro Rotary!

I would encourage everyone to remain as involved as your schedule allows. Come to a monthly social, host our exchange student for an evening (or more), or simply attend our weekly meetings for networking opportunities.

We have a wonderful group of members, and I look forward to an exciting year!

President Cindy

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.
