Community Service Grants
Peter Wang, Chairperson

The Community Service Grant letter/form is being offered in a new format. Due to the complexity of applying for grants and the extensive information requested, the grant requests will be gathered utilizing a simple "Letter of Inquiry," which will allow the smaller and more-needy non-profit organizations to apply. It is not only simpler but easier to fill out, taking approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

The Letters of Inquiry will be sent directly to the Bellevue Rotary Club mailing address, and then passed on to the Community Grants Chairperson.

The initial time table is for the first application to be in before October 31, 2006, and the second installments to come in before February 15, 2007.

Volunteers Needed for Belize Trip
Peter Kalunian

Volunteers are needed for a medical and construction missionary trip to Belize, January 13-21, 2007. The trip will be our seventh year returning to Belize.

The team will be located in Dangriga, about 100 miles south of Belize City, located in the Caribbean Sea. The weather in January will be in the 70’s, with a gentle ocean breeze. A pleasure day is also planned.

The medical specialists that would be most helpful would be: orthopedic, urologist (adult), ENT, Ob/Gyn, women's health, internal specialist, cardiologist, dermatologist, and health educator on First Responder's Training. Any of these specialties would be most beneficial to the region.

Daily clinics will be held at the local hospital. Nurses and non-medical personnel are also especially needed.

The construction team will build a computer lab at an elementary school, and the team will be staying a hotel that has hot water and air conditioning.

Once we have the final nose count for the show, we will move forward with arranging the prefunction for those interested.
