Project Description Country: USA Location: Anthem Total Budget: $4,500 Area of Focus: Maternal and child health Activity Type: Health: General Summary: Water Safety Education for Kindergarten and early Elementary School Children Child drownings occur far too often in our area due to the large number of home swimming pools. The Josh the Otter Water Safety Program teaches young children the importance of water safety and how to safely be around water. Funds will be used to purchase the educational materials for the program and Rotarians will go to schools in the North Valley to conduct interactive sessions with classrooms of young kindergartners and elementary schoolers to teach about water safety. This program will be conducted throughout the school year.

This project has been approved for full funding. We need to do some administrative things, so we don’t know exactly when the money will hit your account, but our best guess is a month or so. We’ll send you an update when we have one. Please also remember that you may not spend money prior to TRF approval and reimburse yourself from grant funds. If there have been changes in your bank account (information for electronic transfer), please get that to Lucinda General (District Treasurer) as soon as possible. treasurer@rotary5495.org. Your report is due April 30, 2024, and receipts are required to complete the report (not invoices, cancelled checks, UPS shipping labels, or any other documents). Thank you for making the world a better place. 14-Jul-24 by Tom McLarty The district grant process is progressing but is delayed somewhat due to the second round of grant submissions. We will notify you as soon as the grant funds are available. Reminder: No money should be spent until the funds are sent to the clubs. No receipts for spending prior to that can be accepted. 31-Aug-24 by Tom McLarty After some delay from RI our block grant was approved on Friday August 30, 2024. The funds should be transferred sometime next week. We will be changing the status on your grant to “Approved” as of that date. As has been stated several times RI will not recognize receipts dated prior to August 30, 2024. Also, PO’s and cancelled checks are not acceptable forms of documentation. Please be sure all banking information is up to date. 2-Sep-24 by Tom McLarty System Entry: Project approved by the District Approval Committee. 26-Sep-24 by Tom McLarty System Entry: Check for DDF payment issued by Foundation Treasurer.
