9. St. Tammany Association for Retarded Citizens
This agency provides services ranging from schooling and employment to mentally challenged citizens in our community. This project hopes to purchase a new delivery van.
Update: January 31, 2006
The efforts of the two Slidell Rotary Clubs to do those many things in Slidell that otherwise would not get accomplished or would be significantly delayed are reaping many benefits for the less fortunate in the Slidell area. All of the projects adopted by the two Rotary clubs are making great progress.
The Rainbow Child Care Center will be open in February 2006 with a grand opening on March 9. Significant funding (in excess of $70,000) was provided by the Rotary Club of San Jose, CA. and the Rotary Club of Denville in New Jersey and District 5150 in California contributed an additional $55,000.
Slidell Community Christian Concern continues to work toward reopening. A $69,000 matching grant written by Ken Caplin, International Service Director of District 5320 and past president of the Rotary Club of Orange North, CA, with assistance from the two Rotary clubs in Slidell and funding from clubs in seven districts and five countries resulted in the donation of a delivery truck to CCC.
The Rotary Club of New York Foundation donated $30,000 to assist in reopening Safe Harbor, a battered women's shelter in the Slidell area.
Four Rotary clubs in Cleveland, Ohio are in the process of initiating the building of a Habitat for Humanity house and will bring it to the Slidell area for final construction.
Working with the Otto and Fran Walter Foundation and a fellow Rotarian from Boothby, Maine, the two Slidell Rotary clubs played an instrumental role in the award of a $100,000 construction grant for the Mt. Olive Food Bank in Slidell.
The Slidell clubs are working with the Rotary Club of Gainesville to build a new pavillion at K Bar B, a residential youth facility near Slidell.
The Rotary Club of Houston Space Center is eager to assist in rebuilding the Slidell Girls and Boys Club.
All in all, the two Slidell Rotary clubs have received funding from the following:
Rotary Foundation of NY, New York City
Rotary Club of San Jose, San Jose, CA
Rotary District 5150, San Francisco
