In case you didn't know, our own Mike Mudd is in his second year of a three year term as the District 6900 Rotary Foundation Grants Chair. In this role, Mike is available to assist the 67 clubs in our district with the somewhat cumbersome global grant process and he is also actively involved in the review of community and competitive grants. In addition to these regular duties, Mike is helping to implement processes and procedures to ensure this committee runs smoothly into the future. 

At my request as an Area Governor, Mike agreed to speak to Rotary Club of Sandy Springs about ways they can boost their Foundation giving. As you would expect, Mike did a great job and I have no doubt that he inspired Rotarians to increase their giving to the Foundation. 

In addition, we shared the video about our Heart for Africa Global Grant project with Sandy Springs since they were one of our co-sponsors. The video was an impactful reminder of the power of giving to the Rotary Foundation.
