Dear All:
DG Clyde has asked me - Les Arent (Past President Warner Robins) to be our Rotary District's Grants Chair. As such, I must sign all Humanitarian Grant applications as the last step before they are sent to Rotary International (RI) for their review.Additionally, I have secured the assistance of George Fox (Past President Warner Robins). He will review all requests for District Simplified Grants (DSG).Although RI has established 1 July through 31 March as the dates for grants applications, the sooner the submission, the better. Money is limited! Last year RI returned grant applications due to lack of funds.My contact information:William L. Arent203 Joy DriveWarner Robins, GA 31088-6547Home Phone / FAX: 478-953-5847 (Note - Call before you send a FAX.)E-Mail: javelin73@cox.netLes
