Three things usually deter smaller clubs from participating In international activities:
Lack of Funds
Inexperience with Granting Processes
Finding Suitable Projects
The District International Service Committee has set up a group of advisors that will help with work in setting up projects.
We are now very pleased to announce that the District Board has approved a change to the District Granting rules that will allow small clubs to work together so that funding is less of a challenge.
An online meeting will be hosted on September 30 at 7:00 pm (new date due to project conflicts). This meeting will address
Why Participate in International Projects
Small Clubs Working Together and New District Granting Rules
Sample Projects of Possible Interest
Resources Available to Help
We would encourage all clubs to have representatives attend, not just smaller clubs. Larger clubs can often ensure the continuation of great initiatives by having other clubs take a leadership role in areas where they have worked.
