The next District International Service Committee meeting will be held Saturday, March 3rd at the Benson Center in Cornwall. To be added to the International Service Committee email group, please contact Chair (bonnie.black@rotary7040.com)
An International Service project is born when Rotary clubs from two or more countries join together to accomplish a community service project. The program links Rotary clubs needing extra help with clubs in other countries that are willing to provide funds, materials, and technical and professional assistance.
- The project must be humanitarian in nature.
- Rotarians in two or more Rotary countries must be involved.
- One of the participating countries must contain the site of the project.
Eligible International Service projects include international projects that are:
- Formed through networking at international conventions or other meetings;
- Identified by Group Study Exchange teams;
- Completed with pooled funds, shared donated goods, or volunteers assistance; or
- Recipients of grants from The Rotary Foundation.
Sub-committees of this District Committee include:
- Projects in Effect/Looking for Partners. Check http://www.rotary7040.com/press1/wcs_en/ for current project descriptions.
- Friendship Exchange and
- CRCID
Our goal is to have representation of each one of our 67 clubs at the quarterly meetings in Cornwall.
