Every month, board members of the Livingston Sunrise Rotary Foundation award mini-grants to various local charitable organizations. In January the group voted to award $1,500 to the Livingston County Truancy Task Force so they could expand the “Pathways to Potential” Project (P2P) into Pinckney elementary schools.
All club members are invited to attend any, or all, of the upcoming board meetings of the Foundation. The next meeting will be Monday, Feb. 20 at 7:30 am at the IHOP in Brighton.
