Today's Program
Doug Edwards came to speak to us today about  Rotary Project Partnership.  This is a new endeavour.  There are presently 8 clubs involved and he is looking for 2 more.. Membership is 3250. a year.   Money is pooled and each member club can propose a international project,. The advantage of this club is resources and knowledge can be pooled to put together proposals to Rotary International in getting grants.  Clubs don't have to  reinvent the wheel as they are skilled in  getting grants.   Proposals must be submitted by march and final reusults from Rotary International are released in July...  I believe Keith is our Liaison with this club.
 
There were lots of question and it sounds like our club has ideas of a international project    ,Links Across Borders.
 
Paul closd out the meeting and Todd told a buzzing joke
