HEART 2 HEART PROGRAM Updated 10-5-2021
Heart 2 Heart is a cooperative partnership between Rotary clubs, districts and individuals in the US and in Mexico Districts 4170 and 4140. The partnership was formed in 2005 to provide humanitarian services to those in need in central Mexico. District 6780 clubs joined the partnership in 2008-09. More information on the Heart 2 Heart program, including project descriptions and a power point presentation, can be found on the Zones website: www.rizones30-31.org/news/heart-2-heart
In addition to several other positive aspects of the Heart 2 Heart program, clubs can participate financially at any level, without any paperwork or long term commitments. Interested clubs and individuals should contact PDG Ron Appuhn for more information (rappuhn53@ yahoo.com, cell 865-567-9576).
The Heart 2 Heart program has an advisory committee in the Zone and within the district. Members of these committees are available to do club programs and to present project options for clubs.
Beginning in 2020-21, our district clubs focused on supporting projects in Mexico through the "100 in 100 Program", which celebrates 100 years of Rotary in Mexico through club-to-club projects. The program is continuing through 2021-22. Partner clubs are listed below.
