Rotary Club Amigos de Milwaukee After Hours Service Project Supports PACA (Pan-African Community Association)

Amigos de Milwaukee After Hours Rotarians have been going to PACA on four different occasions to help rennovate some of the activity space, primarily the space used for youth and teen programs.
 
Last week the painting and moving project was completed. Our club had also applied for a District grant to help support PACA programming.  We have received preliminary information that $3000 will be forthcoming.  Club Rotarians must meet a threshold contribution to the District and Rotary International Foundation - Annual Fund, in order to apply for a District grant.  
 
 
This letter was received from PACA Executive Director, Fessahaye Mehbrahtu.
 
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
 
I cannot thank you enough for your generosity to PACA. It is your support and generosity that keeps me doing what I do to help people who have undergone many life challenges to maintain their dignity and restore their hope and trust in the goodness of humanity once again. You have made my summer this year. I love you all.
 
Sincerely,
 
Fessahaye
