April has come fast. It's time for Club Leadership to establish next year's goals. Please reach out if you need help researching where you are and what the last few years goals and results have been. We have one last Grant Seminar coming on Saturday. You can register through this link.
I'd also like to highlight a Global Grant from a few years ago where Iowa was the district where the Global Grant was hosted. In the 2019-2020 Rotary year We funded a Global Grant for health care equipment at four Federally funded Health Care Centers in Iowa. Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Dubuque and Fort Dodge. The Total Value was $38,413.21. You, Rotarians, made the difference in the lives of women, children and men in Iowa through this grant. Through Rotary, we change lives.
This equipment was provided through the Rotary lowa Health Care Center Global Grant GG1988377. The grant was a result of a collaboration by the Rotary International clubs and districts listed below:
The Rotary Club of Wai, India
The Rotary Club of Bellevue
lowa The Rotary Club of Cedar Falls, lowa
The Rotary Club of Cedar Valley, lowa
The Rotary Club of Cedar Rapids, Iowa
