Note: On March 1, 2018 there was a joint meeting between the boards of Rotary Charities and Rotary Camps and Services. As an outcome of that meeting, there will be monthly updates on the activities of each board delivered to the club via the bulletin, and a verbal update at the following club meeting.
- In 2020, our Rotary Club will celebrate its 100th year of service to the community. We have made progress on our plan to celebrate this special anniversary. We have a committee comprised of staff, Club president(s) and Charities board members. If you would like to share an idea or learn more, talk to Beth Karczewski or Marsha Smith.
- The Charities board approved a $10K seed grant in support of the Grand Traverse Homeless Response System Shelter Partnership Planning. This is a joint strategic planning effort that will benefit Safe Harbor, Goodwill and other organizations in the community who play a role in the system of homelessness services. This small investment will have a big impact on the entire network of organizations working in this system. It’s a great example of the kind of work that Rotary Charities looks forward to supporting more of in the future.
