District 7020 in the Caribbean is the district in charge of facilitating Rotary's efforts. A six-member team of Rotarians who arrived in Haiti on a humanitarian mission just 45 minutes before the quake struck are ok. They were scheduled to stay a week but certainly their immediate mission has changed somewhat. ShelterBox has dispatched 500 containers of supplies to Haiti -- sufficient to provide shelter and other equipment for 5,000 to 6,000 people. Also, 110 Aquaboxes are being delivered to Haiti to provide safe water.

President Joan presented Bill Stallman the Rotarian of the Year award. He is the first Champaign Rotarian to receive the award twice—the first time in 1990. Bill was honored for his hard work and reliability. Not only does he make sure we have greeters, invocators and introducers every week, he also handles the cashier responsibilities and makes sure our "lunch money" is handled properly.   More...

Dave Bernthal presented a check for $25,000 from the Joseph H. Cannon Memorial Grant Trust Funds to Rotarian Bobbie Herakovich, Executive Director of the Champaign Park District. The grant will be used to support improvements to Skelton Park, at the corner of Washington Street and First Street. The history of the property is very interesting. Art Skelton's father owned a house on the property, and when he died, it went to his caretaker. After the caretaker died, the property went to the City of Champaign, which in turn gave it to the Park District. The Park was named and dedicated to the Skelton family a couple of years ago, and a little work was done on it. This grant will help the Park District build a plaza and memorial plaque and add some flowers and trees. You will be hearing more about this later, as the Park District may come back to Rotary members for the tree part of the project.

Dave Bernthal presented a check for $6,200 from the Joseph H. Cannon Memorial Grant Trust Funds to Andre Arrington, Executive Director of the Don Moyer Boys and Girls Club. The grant will be used to upgrade the Computer Lab in time for Summer Camp. Last week employees from Comcast painted the room, so it is ready for the new computers to be purchased with this Rotary grant-the computers were 8 years old, and as we all know, that means they were basically unusable.

Vicki Harber-Wheeler, Regional Operating Officer, Girl Scouts of Central Illinois Champaign Regional Service Center, received a Joseph H. Cannon Memorial Grant Trust Funds check for $5,700 from committee chair Dave Burnthal. The donation will be used for the GS project "Baby, think it over".

Joseph H. Cannon Memorial Grant Trust Funds are typically solicited during the months of July and August each year. The committee meets once the application submission period is closed, to review the potential applicants.

The grants are selected by the committee, which recommends them to WGRC, Inc. for final approval. Congratulations to the following recipients of this year's Cannon Grants.
