District Grants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clubs that have applied for district grants and received conditional pre-approval are reminded that achieving EREY status by October 31, 2026, is one of the requirements. Please achieve this status by the due date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fundraising Target<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this Rotary year, District Governor Jimmy Lau\u2019s goal is to raise a total of US$1,000,000 for the Annual Fund, PolioPlus Fund and Endowment Fund. Rotarians are invited to support this initiative for a good cause to change lives both close to home and around the world. Your donation is significant for our district. Of the amount donated to the Annual Fund, approximately half will return to our district three years later to support our future grant projects. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
