Clean water for Christmas!

Our Global Grant in partnership with Centerville-Farmington Rotary Club, Roosevelt and Vernal Rotary Clubs is moving forward. Our $3,000 investment from our Wine into Water fundraiser will yield $40,000 in clean water and sanitation projects in Guatemala.

Here is a message from Lois Werner, Executive Director of People for Guatemala, the cooperating organization on the Global Grant:

Yesterday Amilcar, Flor, Erick, Otto (Mayor of San Martin) and I met with the entire community.  See attached photo.  At the meeting one of the members of the water committee did role call of all 250 families to take attendance.   Everyone received the good news that their project was approved.  

Their expressions changed from worried to elated!  Next Tuesday there will be an all-community meeting to organize the work groups and start the project.  The goal is to have running water at every home by Christmas.  

What a great project!  Thank you for ALL of your help.

2015 Wine into Water - fundraising with a flair continues!

Don't miss our signature fundraiser: a wine and whisky tasting event, a beautiful way to end the summer, and a spectacular way to raise funds to provide clean water to an impoverished village.

This year we raise funds for water and sanitation in El Sauce community, Guatemala. We are part of a District Global Grant with Rotary Clubs of Centerville/Farmington, Vernal, and Roosevelt.

Click here to make your $60 p/p contribution and join us for a fabulous evening in our past club president's spacious backyard with a stunning view of Salt Lake City. Wine by various providers, and whisky by High West Distillery. Sumptuous eats provided by all our club members and the Dodo restaurant.

We look forward to having a terrific time with you!
