    Last Weeks program - November 28, 2006 - Club Assembly
    Club discusses international service projects.


    Anita Bowden introduced the topic of the day and discussed the Rotary Avenues of Service and our participation in international projects. She reminded members of the Twin Club project where we partnered with a club in Turkey

    Bowden introduced Bala Srinivasan, District World Service chairman. Our club recently contributed $1,000 to a project Srinivasan has worked on for three years. With donations from clubs in our district, along with RI matching grants, he was able to fund a $20,000 project in India which will target women in rural, tribal areas of India.

    Srinivasan went on to discuss the difficulties of putting a program together that combines the resources of local clubs, the district, and Rotary International. He says that it was a three year learning experience. "You need patience to put a program together", he commented. There are many requirements to qualify through RI.

    The district and Srinivasan's committee are prepared to assist clubs as they explore international service projects.

    Mike Stoner then discussed how our club has historically participated in international project, but most of these have come to us as the result of an outside group starting the project then searching for support. He asked the question "should our club be more pro-active and select projects on it's own".

    The club then paused for a 10 minute "table discussion" using a prepared survey form as a topic guide. The club's international service committee will compile the surveys and present the results at a future meeting.
