Millcreek Rotary submits a Rotary District Grant to help Sunnyvale Center

·         District Grant focus for 2017/18 year will again be on woman, children and refugees.

·        We have the opportunity to submit a district grant to secure funds for a laptop (to be used by the leaders at the Sunnyvale Center to facilitate after-school programs).  The current facilitators are working from very old desktops that cannot access school programs, websites, etc. plus a desktop provides limited ability to move around and help the children in the program.   This investment would be for the Center for now and the future. 

       If we can secure enough funds, we will also request a color printer for the Center.  Per the leader, the children have a lot of homework and reports that need color printing and they do not have one at the center (we would secure a donation from a local print shop to service and donate color cartridges)

·        The District Grants require a monetary donation as noted above, and a roll up your sleeves and help project.  For the ‘do some good’ part of the project, we will support a new program called "Venture to Sunnyvale Park."  During the Sunnyvale Farmer's Market, Saturdays, June 10 to October 14th, 12 - 3 p.m.,  the Sunnyvale Park is packed with children (30 to 60), most from a refugee background.  Two years ago, Sunnyvale and Salt Lake County began to provide organized activities for the children. We would volunteer during a Saturday to provide activities for the children.  On the same day, we would make our donation to the Center.
