Service Update
La Clinica Project
We have exciting news, Changemaker Rotarians! Our application to D6250 for $5,000 in matching funds for our Family Health LaClinica appeal has been approved! That means that every dollar contributed by a member or club from District 6250 (our district) will be doubled. If you made a contribution of $20, it will be matched by another $20, resulting in $40 of blood monitoring supplies, doubling the impact on the lives of folks who badly need those life saving supplies. As of today, 10 club members have given $1,116! If you haven't given yet, I hope you'll take the opportunity to do so at your earliest convenience. All gifts from our members will be matched!
Our appeal will continue with outreach to Rotary clubs in the service area of Family Health La Clinica, as well as requests from Past District Governors and all clubs in D6250. If any club wishes, we're willing to make a presentation to them about the project, virtually or in person. And you'll be able to invite family and friends you think may be interested as well. We're on our way to success in our first big project! Nice job Rotarians!
International Project
John Locke is the subcommittee chair for International Service. He maintains contact with a group of Rotaracters from Morocco who are working to clean up their city. We are in a supporting role at this time as the group gets its feet on the ground.
Service Continues
John is also working on identifying a project we can collaborate on in conjunction with the TRICON in La Crosse April 28-29. We're heard from many of you that fellowship is one of your primary interests in Rotary, so this effort will include a social time for us to get together IN PERSON! I can't wait! Stay tuned for more information on this.
Please feel free to let me know if you become aware of any service project, in our communities or international, that you think we might put on the list!
Thanks to you all for your efforts to provide Service Above Self!
Cheryl Mader, Service Committee Co-Chair
