Feb 3 - Lee Dueringer, a board member of TRVFA and member of the Scottsdale Sunrise Club, explained the purpose of TRVFA and how it operates to support students that fall within the category of the "working poor". The mission of The Rotary Vocational Fund of Arizona, Inc. (TRVFA), is to partner with Rotary clubs to provide assistance to the working poor in obtaining education, training and skill development. The ultimate objective is to attain career-oriented employment and financial stability. The organization serves districts 5510, 5590, and 5500. They seek support from all clubs in these districts and last year they collected over $80,000 which were dispersed in grants ranging from $1200 to $3000.  This year they have provided 31 grants so far. They are hoping to have all clubs in the 3 districts help with financial support.
