The Rotary Club of Mountain View is happy to announce its 2009 Community Grant award recipients.

Our club was in a unique position of having nearly three times as many applications than previous years. We understand the role the country's economic downtown has in these requests, and the unfortunate effect it has had on our fund-raising. It is because of this that, while we've still been able to make grant approvals, we haven't been able to fully fund most of the requests. However, we were very happy to distribute over $10,000 in grants to organizations that serve the Mountain View community.

The following organizations/projects will received their grant checks during the month of May at Rotary meetings, which are held every Tuesday at 12:15pm at the Historic Adobe Building in Mountain View:
