Board Meeting Info During our last Board Meeting for the Foundation we considered a list of charities we will support this year. Treasurer Fred Timmons has list. Our club historically supports many local charities benefiting women, children and veterans just to name a few. The Board approved awarding two $2500 nursing scholarships. The Board also approved $6000 for our portion for matching grants for Nueva Rosita Water Project. Rick Rhodes announced that both grants have been tentatively approved. Will be moving ahead with the initial $6000 in tbe near future so that the middle school project can move forward. Bruce Richter pointed out that there are other ways that we can help to support charities. He recommended asking the organizations if club members could donate useable items such as beds, furniture and household goods. Some organizations also welcome volunteers. President John would like for these three projects to be accomplished during his presidency: Nursing Scholarships Nueva Rosita Water Project Two Mini Libraries, an initiative of District Governor Xavier Toson. The Nueva Rosita Rotary Club and Coronado San Diego Rotary Club met with OHRC recently. Linda Wood of the Coronado Club shared 2 wonderful power point presentations about the water project.
