Celebrating Black History Month:
A week late my apologies, a shout out to our first Black American President Dennis Jeter and first Black-American female President Lucille Piggott-Prawl. Rotary has come a long way.
The Rotary Foundation is changing the world by providing grants for projects and activities around the globe and in your own backyard:
WASH Global Grant Projects: Since 2013, The Rotary Foundation has invested in more than $130 million in over 2000 projects worldwide. Through this investment, our volunteers of action have improved access to safely managed and basic WASH services to communities, schools and healthcare facilities, while protecting and conserving water resources.
All it takes is $24 to provide one person with safe water
