At least two members of a club must attend a grants management seminar in order for a Rotary club to be eligible for a district grant in 2025-26. This is an annual requirement. Utilization of District Grants and Global Grants helps us to leverage our service projects dollars, enabling us to do far more that we could ever afford to do on our own.
District 5495 is holding two Grants Management Seminars in March -- one in person and one virtual meeting:
Saturday, March 15 -- 9-11 a.m., GESD System of Care Campus Library, 7677 W. Bethany Home Road, Glendale, 85303. Pre-registration is not required. Be sure to bring your own coffee or drink as there will be no refreshments on site.
Wednesday, March 19, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Join us online for a comprehensive session on grant management. Learn about the ins and outs of applying for grants, managing funds, and reporting requirements. We will guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have. This training is a requirement for clubs' eligibility to apply for a district or global grant in Rotary Year 2025-26. Register now and secure your spot!
BE SURE TO IDENTIFY YOUR CLUB WHEN COMPLETING YOUR REGISTRATION
There is no cost to register and participate in one of these Grant Management Seminars. We believe the more members we have each year who attend one of these seminars, to learm how the utilization of these grants works,.the stronger Rotary club we will have.

The closest I get to a spa day
Is when steam from the dishwasher smacks me in the face,

You come from dust and you will return to dust.
That’s why I don’t dust.
It could be someone I know.

And then I take a good look around at everyone,
And realize . . . maybe I am.

Last year I joined a support group for antisocial people.
We haven’t met yet.
