I’ll be sharing the story behind a Global Grant project that is truly unlike any other Rochester Rotary has taken on — a WASH (Water\, Sanitation\, and Hygiene) initiative to bring clean water to two districts in Uganda. \nThis journey started more than a year ago with a smaller District Simplified Grant and a partnership with the Ugandan Water Project. We saw how something as simple as clean water could transform lives\, schools\, and entire communities. That success inspired us to think bigger. \nLast February\, I had the privilege of traveling to Uganda\, where I met families and children whose daily lives revolve around the search for clean water. Their resilience and gratitude left a lasting impression on me — and it solidified our resolve to do more. \nNow\, after months of collaboration\, planning\, and tireless fundraising\, we’re in the final stages of a $100\,000 Global Grant that will bring safe\, sustainable water access to over 12\,500 people. This is Rotary at its finest — ordinary people doing extraordinary things together. \nI can’t wait to share the full story next week — how this dream came to life\, what it will mean for the communities we’re helping\, and how each of you plays a part in this transformative effort. Come ready to be inspired by what happens when we truly Unite for Good. \nSee you at lunch\,\nPresident Rich \nPlease use the form below to register for this luncheon: URL:https://www.rochesterrotary.org/event/tuesday-luncheon-meeting-152/ LOCATION:Locust Hill Country Club CATEGORIES:Event,Featured,Luncheon ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.rochesterrotary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/uganda.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260127T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260127T130000 DTSTAMP:20260617T071444 CREATED:20260109T153210Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260121T143244Z UID:10017753-1769515200-1769518800@www.rochesterrotary.org SUMMARY:Tuesday Luncheon Meeting DESCRIPTION:Join special guests Scott Pitoniak and Thad Brown on Tuesday\, January 27th at Locust Hill Country Club for our annual Bills talk. \nScott is the best-selling author of more than 40 books\, including seven about the Bills\, whom he’s written about for 40 years.
