OUR FOCUS IN 2025-2026 … AT A GLANCE

OUR COMMITTEE VALUES

Our committee uses these five VALUES in making project and budget recommendations to our board: 

1. Thorough annual reviews of the needs and outcomes of proposed organizations/projects.  

2.  Prioritization of competing needs using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs:

3. Seeking service opportunities for Rotarians (emphasis on providing Service Above Self, and not only providing funds).

      4. Rotary brand enhancement – through connections, history and support (e.g. Rotary-inspired beginnings, board representation, current engagement by members, raising general awareness of Rotary).

      5. Building community connections (e.g. links to the Grove Hub, to other Rotary projects, and supporting potential connections between community services and through Rotary’s amazing networks).
