February 5th 2019 the Rotary Club of Glendora awarded their 2019 Glendora Rotary “Mini-Grants For Teachers” awards to deserving Glendora and Charter Oak Unified School Teachers.
Glendora Rotary’s sponsorship of “Mini-Grants For Teachers” began in 1984 under the guidance and tutelage of the late William “Bill” Bird. The Rotary Club of Glendora dedicates this annual project to Bill’s memory. This program is one of the major fund-raising efforts of Glendora Rotarians. This year’s campaign began in October and culminated with the awarding of 37 grants to 45 teachers totaling $12,829.00 at the Recognition Ceremony. Glendora Rotarians have solicited funds with the Club, from local business people, and from members of the community.
Recipients of this year’s 37 awards were as follows: (Download the complete 2019 Rotary Mini Grant Program here.)
