PROJECT SELECTION & DEVELOPMENT, NEXT STEPS

• Our Board will discuss and make a recommendation to achieve some immediate lower cost but high need kitchen improvement projects.
• Mike Dorin to return to Lima in August with 2 tablets to see if already donated tablets will meet the school's needs.
• The Board will wait for Mike Dorin's return from his August trip to determine next steps in regard to the possible School Technology Project.
• Possible follow-up trip to Lima in late October or November. If you are interested in being part of the next trip please reach out to Amanda, Tom or John.
• The water project is a long-term project/goal that would likely require seeking matching funds from other clubs in our area together with our Rotary District and The Rotary Foundation.
