June 16th, 2009: Program: Dave Ruden, head agriculturalist for New Mellary Abby, was introduced by Brent Johns. Dave was a wonderful guest and presenter. He provided us with splendid insights into the agricultural and the environmental stewardship that is New Mellary. The rich history, the spiritual heritage, the and the multiple revenue streams that 3,000+ acres can represent was fascinating to hear about.

The Membership Roster is Online!
We are testing a new format for our membership listing. Normally a printed membership book would cost the club several hundred dollars. With an online listing, the content never becomes obsolete because it can continually be updated. Members can print the list from their home computer if they want a hard copy. Give it a look. |

Dubuque Rotary Club Grant Requests (C indicates Contingency funding).The Community and Human Development Committee has revamped the request form that people fill out to apply for finances. To download the Microsoft Word file. Click here. Linked to this website is the important grant request summary document (in Microsoft Word completed by people in our community representing organizations who seek funding from Rotary Club. The document is quite thick but interesting since it requests over $50,000 from our organization. This is good news, actually, because it gives us the opportunity to set a goal for our fund raising efforts. After all, this is what we are all about.... raising money for humanitarian projects among other things. Here is the committee who must sift through the requests and decide what we will fund. The chairman is Mike Seyer.
The date for accepting applications for grants is September 1, 2009 and ending November 30, 2009. This gives the subcommittee enough time to evaluate all of the applications we receive in a timely manner.
