Clean water is a basic need for human beings. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, they live healthier and more productive lives. However, at least 3,000 children die each day from diseases caused by unsafe water, which is what motivates our members to build wells, install rainwater harvesting systems, and teach community members how to maintain new infrastructure.
While very few people die of thirst, millions die from preventable waterborne diseases, providing the impetus for our members to also improve sanitation facilities in undeveloped countries. Members start by providing toilets and latrines that flush into a sewer or safe enclosure and then add education programs to promote hand-washing and other good hygiene habits.
From the various water projects in which Rotary has participated, we have come to know the obstacles that many people across the globe face when it comes to some of the basic necessities of life. We tend to take for granted the clean and generally safe and plentiful water sources to which we have access.
Based on actual results, intelligence, and intuition from implementing the Flag Lease Program, 'The Ulitmate Non For Profit Fundraising Project' is a manual for non-profit professionals and volunteers who want to implement their fundraising project to promote their cause.
Built upon the success of the Flag Lease Project, this summing-up manual provides practical, comprehensive guidance for non-profit fundraising universally. With tips and tools, knowledgeable advice, and real-applied insights from the actual project implementation, this healthy resource addresses the entire spectrum of patriotic fundraising for non-profits.
Bill Smith, Director of COMMUNITY SERVICE, announces that flag maintenance at the shed with SCORE will be Monday, and Tuesday starting at 8 AM.
If you can spend an hour or two, we would appreciate it.

Dana Maclinson. He was part of the original founding committee for district 5810 RYLA back in 1991 and has served as the district chairman of the RYLA program for the past 30 years, as well as the camp’s activities director in the early years of the program before taking on the role of the camp director.
Dana was instrumental in helping start Rotary’s RYLA International Committee and served as the North American Representative for the committee during the first years of the program.
He also was able to chair two International RYLA programs. The 2001 RYLA Convention was held in San Antonio (the first international program) and then again in 2005 during Rotary’s centennial convention in Chicago.
