GLOBAL GRANT: Our Board has approved that we pursue a Global R.I. Grant to support well drilling in Uganda. We have 2 Rotary clubs in Uganda ready and excited to participate; Paul and Speara are the excited liaisons over there. They're putting together the Needs Assessment now. We'll be targeting the Miegay District East of Kampala, at the headwaters of the Nile River above Lk Victoria. We get to raise money to support well digging! Lifewater program (Sean who spoke to us a year or so ago)...said there are 3 villages that need $ to dig wells. We'd like to complete the digging of 2-3 wells. HOW WE'LL RAISE the MONEY!  Muffin sale! The Wise family has been extremely successful over the years for the various projects they've supported. Wise family is committing to $10K for the Clean Water project through the muffin sale! We're asking each member of Boise Metro to raise a minimum of $200 through the sale of Muffins! $25 for 5 muffins.

If people want to write a check, make it out to Boise Metro Rotary and bring it to muffin pick-up. Matching FUNDS! Global Grant Matches our money 125%! RI matches the 125% by 80%!
