RE:     Petaluma Valley Rotary’s 4th annual “Lend a Hand to Education

A primary focus of the Rotary Club of Petaluma Valley is Youth and Education. We have once again looked at the needs in our community and see that educational budgets are still so tight that teachers often dig into their own pockets to provide needed materials for their students. Therefore we are dedicated to continue the “Lend a Hand to Education” teacher mini-grant program

During three previous years, Petaluma Valley Rotary has distributed over $20,500 in grants to Petaluma teachers in grades K through 12 for classroom projects, supplies and field trips that benefit hundreds of students

We welcome the opportunity of having you as a SPONSOR for one of the “Lend a Hand to Education” grants. Your business may be particularly interested in the following application:

School/Grade:                                                

Teacher:                                                       

Category:                                                      

Grant Request Summary:                                                                                                                

                                                                                                                                                           

Amount:                 $ 200.00

Please give this your kind consideration. If you would like to fund the grant, please make payment to “Rotary Club of Petaluma Valley” so that we can distribute it through the school district which keeps track of teacher purchases. I will be calling you within the week, or you may reply by November 2.

Many thanks for your continued support of youth and education in our community.
