The Rotary Club of Bowen Island is pleased to announce that it will be funding a youth project to Make Bowen a Better Place. Effective immediately, this program invites island students to propose a new service project for Bowen Island. Up to $1,000 will be awarded to support the implementation of the project.
To qualify, a project will demonstrate the Rotary principle of 'service above self'. It must pass the Rotary four-way test: 1) Is it the truth? 2) Is it fair to all concerned? 3) Will it build goodwill and better friendships and 4) Will it be beneficial to all concerned? And finally, the result of the project will make Bowen Island a better place.
Written proposals must be submitted to Bruce Wallace ([email protected]) no later than December 21. Proposals may be made by Bowen individuals or groups of students from Grades 4 to 12.
The project has been designed with the assistance of Bowen's educational community, including BICS, IPS and IDLC and is funded by donations and sponsorships from Operation Red Nose (ORN) on Bowen Island. Both ORN and Make Bowen a Better Place are inspired by Rotary International's new generations avenue of service.
The proposal that best meets the ideals of Rotary and has the biggest positive impact on our island community will be awarded up to $1,000 towards its implementation. Please contact Rotarian Bruce Wallace for more information.
