Petaluma Valley Rotary

DATE: August 2007

TO: All Petaluma Area Teachers, Grades K-12

SUBJECT: LEND A HAND TO EDUCATION 2007

Many of you have previously received grants from the Petaluma Valley Rotary program LEND A HAND TO EDUCATION for teachers in Petaluma area schools. We believe support for education outside of traditional funding mechanisms is still needed, and are proud to announce our 4th year sponsorship of LEND A HAND TO EDUCATION. In addition to donating grant funds from Petaluma Valley Rotary, we will also use your project descriptions on the Funding Request forms to seek additional donors from the Petaluma business community.

To participate, we ask you to please complete the enclosed “Funding Request” form and identify an educational need or project for your class, not to exceed $200, which will not be financed by another funding source. Note: Rotary Club of Petaluma also has a teacher grant program; make sure that you use the enclosed request for Rotary Club of Petaluma Valley.

Funding Request forms must be postmarked no later than September 28, 2007. Through a well-defined selection process, all submitted requests will be considered. Notification of specific grant funding is scheduled for November and December.

If you have any questions, please e-mail us: lend-a-hand@sbcglobal.net.

Rotary members continue to support and applaud you for your valuable contribution to the education of Petaluma’s youth.

Sincerely,

Sally Johnson                              Robert Hill, Ph.D. & Libby Harvey FitzGerald, B.S.
President 2007-2008                 Lend a Hand to Education Co-Chairs
