2024 GRANT RECIPIENTS
These projects vary from year to year but our goal is to encourage the development of local educational youth programs in our Traverse City community. This year a total of $6,000 was awarded to five different nonprofit organizations to help support them in their educational projects. This is another opportunity for our club to give back to our community. Janet Hickman, Chair, 7 members
