ImageSend In Your Nominations Now For Future Club Beneficiaries

One of the findings to come out of the Club Assemblies held in July 2012 was that choosing the right beneficiaries is critical to fundraising and member participation in hands-on service work.  You told us that you want beneficiaries you can be passionate about.   You also would like the opportunity to provide hands-on service at the organizations where the club makes financial contributions.   There was also consensus that the geographic area around the Plaza should be the target area for Community Service beneficiaries.

We’d like for our future beneficiaries to fit in with the Future Vision Grants critieria.  The Areas of Focus are:

a.     Peace & Conflict Prevention/Resolution
b.     Disease Prevention and Treatment
c.      Water and Sanitation
d.     Maternal and Child Health
e.     Basic Education & Literacy
f.      Economic and Community Development

Give us your ideas.   What charities do you think represent the best focus for our club fundraising efforts?  What charities do you think represent an opportunity for our club to support for the next 3-5 years?  Or what charities do you think would gather the most support from our club members?  A Beneficiary Nominations Form may be found in the "Download Files" section on the left side of the Home page.

The Benefit Study Group is being formed to research and evaluate the options and present their findings to the club.

Please send your nominations to President-elect Debra Anderson at debanderson@me.com.
