We note that authorization from D9211 appears to be all that is lacking on this application. The limit for submitting a grant to TRF per our Committee guidelines has been surpassed. Please update me on the status of this grant. The DDF will be made available for reallocation to other projects if this grant is not submitted to TRF in a timely manner. Replies/inquiries may be individually sent to jkurth1@san.rr.com. 29-Jan-17 by Janice Kurth Dear Grant participants, This grant has been approved for over 18 months now for D5340 DDF, and is only lacking authorization for submission. We have other clubs in our District that have their grants completed that would like access to this DDF. Because of the LONG delay in submitting this grant, we are going to have to consider removing our DDF support in order to support other grants that are progressing if we do not get this grant submitted by FEBRUARY 14. Please advise as to your course of action. Sincerely, Janice Kurth, DRFCC D5340 jkurth1@san.rr.com 30-Jan-17 by Godfrey inaisa System Entry: Application Sent to The Rotary Foundation through Member Access. 31-Jan-17 by Venky Venkatesh This global grant was delayed because of Host Kitgum Club Rotary "Qualification" which is finally 90% complete. It is expected that this Host Rotary qualification should happen hopefully within the next two to three weeks or earlier and request our district 5340 to hold the DDF for us until then. 18-Apr-17 by Venky Venkatesh Application to Rotary Foundation not sent because the Host District DRFC & DG have not authorized/signed the application. They are waiting for Kitgum Host Rotary in Dist 9211 to be "qualified" to take up the project. This project may have to rolled over to 2016-17 rotary year. 18-Apr-17 by Godfrey inaisa System Entry: Application approved by The Rotary Foundation. 21-Apr-17 by Philippe Lamoise System Entry: Project status reverted to Application Sent. 21-Apr-17 by Philippe Lamoise System Entry: Project status reverted to Fully Pledged. 2-Sep-17 System Entry System Entry: Fully Pledged project dropped per lack of response to the carry-over notification emails.
