Today's Speaker

 

Our guests today were District Governor Sandi Campbell and Louise Bergeron

Their mission was to help us discover what our Club wanted as a Community Donation Policy.

The Rotary Club of Huntsville is dedicated to supporting and enhancing the well-being of our local community. This Community Donation Policy outlines the principles, criteria, and procedures for the allocation of funds and resources to individuals, groups, and organizations seeking support from the Club. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to ensure a fair, transparent, and consistent approach to all donation requests, aligning with the mission and values of Rotary International and the specific priorities of the Rotary Club of Huntsville. 

We did a number of exercises to help us see where our priorities lie.
