We need $2600 to complete the grading, preparation and planting of

the soccer pitch & to place goal posts. We are proceeding to construct the park in the area that is not subject to litigation. Hopefully this too shall be completed by March 15. Construction of the soccer(football) pitch is now complete. The Evanston Lighthouse, Illinois Club and their Inter act, Rotaract and ties to Rotary International in Evanston are raising funds for the soccer pitch. Funds donated by other Clubs and individuals will help make the $2600 necessary a reality. Any additional monies raised for the soccer field will go to the tot-­lot for the under five year olds. All play equipment, fencing and tot lots remain to be sponsored. The original Matching Grant covered the well and restrooms and storage rooms. Some of those funds are awaiting adjudication to be spent. The remainder is not part of the original grant. Make checks out to NIRC Foundation, a legal 501c3 Foundation, funds will be forwarded to the Rotary Park in Zambia. Funds will now go to building the netball/ basket-­ ball/ badminton pitch and small child play equipment. Please let me know by e-­mail what you or your Club can do. Make checks payable to NIRC Foundation. Send to NIRC at PO Box 4113, Irvine CA 92616. Thanks, Bob Selinger, rdselinger@aol.com. (949)887-­3266.
