Today we received exciting news, the notice from The Rotary Foundation that our grant funds have been authorized for payment. That means that TRF will be shortly transferring $12,176 into the special account of the Club Rotario Salcedo. These funds are designated exclusively for equipping the Virgin of Loudres Home, Conuco, Salcedo, Dominican Republic, a foster home and orphanage for about 30 children. This home does not receive any help from the State nor other special organizations. Rather, it is through our Rotary International cooperative efforts that we are able to help. The Club Rotario Salcedo, D4060, is the Host Club and overseer. The Rotary Club of Scott Valley, D5110, is the International Sponsor Club. Two other Rotary Clubs in Rotary District 5110, the Rotary Club of Myrtle Point and the Rotary Club of Eugene Metropolitan are Co-Sponsors. A sincere thanks to all of these Rotarians for their role in making a positive difference in these children lives. We will have more news as the project develops.
