Club to submit fully funded Matching Grant Proposal - the Tisch Zoo Animal Assisted Therapy Project

I have just received the wonderful news from our outstanding Allocations Committee Chair, P/P Rafi Aldor that we have a fully funded Matching Grant ready to submit- the Tisch Zoo (Jerusalem) Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) Project. This is an outstanding project that should sail smoothly through the Rotary application process.

Sources of funding: Sao Paulo West club/Brazilian = $ 7,000, Duesseldorf South Club/Germany = $ 2,500 and we are giving $ 2,000 plus $300 from the Middletown Rotary Club/Connecticut, USA,

Congratulations to P/P Rafi and his committee on another project that reflects the true spirit of Rotary.

"I am happy to report that the financing of the AAT (Zoo) MG project has been completed. Our foreign partners are the Sao Paulo West club and its district, the Duesseldorf South Club and its district. The Sao Paulo club agreed to increase their original commitment and now we can count on the whole financing (US$ 21,450). To our US$ 2,000 contribution I added, of course, the US$ 300 we received from the Middletown Club.

The three participating clubs are now preparing their respective parts in the TRF application form and I hope to send the whole package to TRF within a week or so. I need your signature and plan to bring the forms with me on Wednesday for you to sign.

Shabat Shalom!

Rafi"
