$1500 Youth Community Grant Awarded
The Community Grants committee awarded $1,500 to The Center for Family Outreach.  RCFC's grant will purchase art materials so that students may express themselves in a safe, non-alienating and non-confrontational outlet.  The Center for Family Outreach has been in existence since December 2000, with the mission of helping Larimer County youth (8-18) and their families achieve and sustain long-term positive changes and healthy relationships.  This is your local Charities donations at work.  Thanks Rotarians!!
