2019 Service Project Update
 
President Tungland invites all Waterloo Rotarians to contribute to the conversation regarding our 2019 Service Project. Through excellent club finance management practices, our club is in a position to support a local project and possibly tap into a district matching grant.  The board is collecting ideas and will be reviewing options the next several weeks, and your input is welcome. You can email Katelyn with suggestions for a project or voice support for one of the projects we've already suggested at previous meetings.
