Attend the Rotary Foundation Seminar, September 7

We've received the following invite from David Kott, District 6690 Foundation Chair. It's a great opportunity to find out more about Rotary Foundation and is necessary if we want District grants this year or next. Zanesville is a drive, but I'd like to encourage anyone working on a grant, considering a grant request for next year, or simply interested to consider attending.

Thanks!

We are very excited to be presenting this year’s District 6690 Rotary Foundation Seminar. It is being held on Saturday, September 7, 2013 at Zane State College, 1555 Newark Rd., Zanesville, OH 43701. The doors open at 8:00am. Program starts at 8:30am. We are done at 1:00pm. Cost is $20.00 per attendee. Registration is available on the District website www.district6690.org

This is the main venue the District Rotary Foundation Committee uses to provide training in the following areas:

· Latest information on the programs of the Rotary Foundation

· Updates on Recognition Awards, such as Paul Harris Fellow, Paul Harris Society, etc.

· Review of new Rotary Foundation Grant programs

· Requalification for current and next year’s District Grants

We are asking the following Rotarians to attend this event:

· All Club Rotary Foundation chairs, new and veterans

· All Club Grant Coordinators

· Club members working on a current District Grant (2013-14)

· Clubs wanting to do a District Grant for 2014-15

· Clubs wanting a short overview of the Global Grant system

· Any Rotarian that wants to learn more about the Rotary Foundation

District 6690 Rotary Foundation guidelines require attendance by at least one member of a Club that is currently involved in a District Grant (2013-14). In addition, attendance is required by at least one member of a Club that wishes to do a District Grant for Rotary year 2014-15. This will be the only opportunity for Clubs that wish to be eligible to apply for District Grants in 2014-15.

We look forward to meeting with each and every one of you as we "Engage Rotary and Change Lives” through our work in the Rotary Foundation.
