Guest Speaker: PDG and District Foundation Chair Roger
McGonegal was our speaker. Roger first recognized Dave Halm for his Paul Harris plus 7 status. Roger presented “A Foundation for The Future” overview of new RI guidelines for Global and District Grants. The guidelines will bring more efficiency, accountability and value to Rotary grants. Reform of the guidelines was necessary due to the large volume of grants awarded in recent years. Beginning July 1st, 2013 each club will need to be qualified to receive grants. To be eligible, clubs will need to have at least two members attend a District training class to ensure each club’s adherence to the new guidelines. With each grant award, the next two club presidents must sign an MOU with RI. All future grants must support one of six Rotary areas of focus to be eligible. The new Global Grants will support larger and longer-term projects up to $30 K. “District grants” will support smaller local projects, but can also be used for global work. District grants will be for a maximum of $5K (NIRC is eligible for $3,300). The new grant guidelines can be found on the District 5320 website. Bill Zeller, Reporter
