3-H Grant Funding Urgently Needed

The Rotary Clubs of Evanston Lighthouse and Eziukwu, Aba, Nigeria have received approval from The Rotary Foundation for a $330,000 multi-year water and sanitation project serving 200,000 people. It was one of just 18 Health Hunger and Humanity projects approved in 2007-2008. Project organizers have just learned that a funding change means they need an additional $25,000 by the end of October or the project will be cancelled.

Individuals and clubs can contribute and contributions will count toward Paul Harris Fellow recognition. Checks payable to The Rotary Foundation and labeled 3-H Grant TH 62891 can be mailed to George Ammerman, The Rotary Foundation, OA400, 1560 Sherman Avenue, Evanston, IL 60201-3698. Questions can be directed to George Ammerman (847-866-3348) or Jim Grumley (774-465-0700 or 773-230-1159).
