The International President decides on a theme each year. This year it was "Be the Inspiration". Our club awarded these scholarships to Dane Smitz, Trey Heliin, Jessica Disney & Lindsay Lewandowski with the hope that they go out into the world and be the inspiration.
Roscommon Rotary gave away over $70,000 to grant applicants in the 2017-2018 year.
Some of the great charities and organizations were:
Northern Michigan Children’s Assessment Center; Lyon Township Phoenix Park; Roscommon Area Public Schools; CRAF Center; Gahagan Nature Preserves; and the Crawford-Roscommon Conservation District. We also did a matching grant with the Houghton Lake Rotary Club.
Our grant application deadlines for the 2018-2019 year are October 1, 2018 and April 1, 2019. Please submit your applications to Committee Chair, Kelly McCarthy-Tubbs.
