Service Projects @ D5890 Conference
At our district conference each year, the Rotary district governor selects a service project so our D5890 Rotarians can make a positive impact in the local community. At this year's conference, District Governor Nick has selected TWO great community service projects benefiting the Galveston community. Since some Rotary clubs have blood drives in their own community 12-weeks before or after the district conference, they won't be able to donate blood. Another option for your club would be to participate in our "Educational Supplies for Parker Elementary School for International Studies" Service Project.
PARKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, GALVESTON
:
Our Inbound D5890 Rotary Youth Exchange Students will be speaking to the students at
this elementary school on Friday morning, April 29th, and will present gifts to the school on
behalf of Rotary District 5890. How can D5890 Rotarians AND Rotary clubs help?
We've asked the school counselor for a list of educational supplies that the school needs.
