Applications open for Walker County non-profits and charities to request funds
The Rotary Club of Huntsville and Huntsville Rotary Charities invite Walker County non-profit and charitable organizations to submit applications for funds for projects and other needs they may have in the upcoming year.
 
Organizations are asked to consider their top three priority projects and how Rotary might best assist. Applications will be accepted through Friday, May 10, with funding awarded later this summer.
 
The main funding source for these donations are the proceeds from our flagship annual fundraiser, WineQuest, scheduled this year for Saturday, April 13 (more information available www.winequestrotary.org). ALL proceeds from this event are given back to the community. 
 
Applications may be downloaded here, or by emailing 2023-24 Club President Michelle Lyons at mclyons4@yahoo.com.

An estimated 500 million people worldwide became infected. Many cities closed theaters and cinemas, and placed restrictions on public gatherings. Rotary clubs adjusted their activities while also helping the sick.

This is how Rotary responded to the influenza pandemic that began in 1918 and came in three waves, lasting more than a year.

Rotary and the United Nations have a shared history of working toward peace and addressing humanitarian issues around the world.

During World War II, Rotary informed and educated members about the formation of the United Nations and the importance of planning for peace. Materials such as the booklet “From Here On!” and articles in The Rotarian helped members understand the UN before it was formally established and follow its work after its charter. 

Many countries were fighting the war when the term “United Nations” was first used officially in the 1942 “Declaration by United Nations.” The 26 nations that signed it pledged to uphold the ideals expressed by the United States and the United Kingdom the previous year of the common principles “on which they based their hopes for a better future for the world.”
