Club News
At least 14 of our energetic members and family came for our Thirsty Thursday happy hour at Liftbridge Brewery Taproom on St. Patrick's Day. The weather was atrocious, but the conversation and comradery were warm, as always. Keep an eye on our events list for the next one - visitors are always welcome. And check out our photographic evidence as well, here.
A project supported by District 5960 funds is wrapping up now in the Central African Republic. The project included the construction of a medical staff house and accompanying structures.  The medical team there is very happy with the finished product and are very excited to have respectable living quarters to base out of as they provide their life-saving services to beneficiaries in the surrounding villages. This project played a big part in helping them hire a very experienced midwife from the capital city that will be saving women and newborn’s lives on a regular basis at the clinic.
 
The total project cost was $8,500, made up of club contributions of $4,250 and 5960 District Funds of $4,250. Our club provided $750 for this project, and $2,000 on a related global grant. Please click "Read More" for pictures and a report from Senitizo.
 
 
The North St. Paul/Maplewood/Oakdale club sponsored a district project for the Sylvia's Children Orphanage in Kiswera, Uganda, Africa. The total project cost of $21,600 came from 13 area clubs ($10,000) Kiwanis and others ($2,000) and District 5960 Designated Funds ($9,500). This project has immediate impact, as it allows 36 orphans get a secondary school education for one year. Please click "Read More" for a picture and and more details.
Responding to the horrendous earthquake in Turkey and Syria, our club has funded a $2000 Shelter Box for the area as well as sent $1000 to a Rotary Club in the affected area to provide whatever help is necessary. Shelter Box provides shelter, essential items and technical assistance to help recover and rebuild their homes after disaster. They adapt to the needs of each community, working together with those affected by disaster.
