On Thursday, April 7, Richardson’s two Rotary Clubs presented a check to Network of Community Ministries for its After School Art Club. The two clubs contributed $3,500 each. When combined with matching District Grants, the total given to Network for this new program totaled $14,000. The After School Art Club is held every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4-5PM.

Network partners with the Central Arts Program to host young students from the community and help them learn about new art styles and techniques, make unique creations, and get a chance to socialize with their peers.

May 23 Update: Rotary response to Ukraine crisis

The Rotary Foundation has created an official channel for Rotary members and other donors around the world to contribute funds to support relief efforts underway by Rotary districts. The Foundation has designated the Disaster Response Fund as the main avenue for this.

Thanks to the generosity of Rotary members and others, as of May 23, the fund has received more than $15 million in contributions. These funds are being distributed to Rotary districts that apply for Disaster Response grants and will be used to provide relief to refugees or other victims of the crisis, including items such as water, food, shelter, medicine, and clothing.

So far, 90 disaster response grants, totaling $2.4 million, have been awarded to support those affected by the war in Ukraine.
