The conference will take place at the Pueblo Convention Center.

• The size of the convention hall for the grants is 150 feet by 200 feet. It can be expanded if necessary.   
• There will be plenty of tables for grant projects to be displayed on. Booth spaces are scheduled to be 8 ft. X 8 ft. and could be as large as 8 X 10 feet.
• The convention room is open with no walls, so there will be no issues with space as in previous project fairs.   Grants teams will have a special corner with separation from the crowd to set up and process grants.  
• Internet Wi fi is ordered for the event.  Please make sure your laptops or PC's are set up for Wi fi use. 
• The event will have a specialist on site at the beginning of the project fair to assist you in getting on line. 
• There will be no land line to hook up to for internet connections.  
• Please note to bring your individual power strips, extension cords, UPC's for your own equipment. 
• If you wish to print, please bring a portable printer with you for your needs.   A commercial quality copier will be onsite for use by participants.   
• The projects page is up and available on the website for posting of projects to it. 
• Please review the process for posting so that you may communicate clearly the process to participants wishing to post to the site page.

This year as last, District 5470 will attempt to have all of their grants submitted to the Rotary Coordinator for D 4110, Mireya Dominguez who will be a guest at the conference , by late Saturday Afternoon. We plan to have each grant with completed paper work, scanned into Adobe pdf and sent on to Evanston with copies to all the appropriate parties.

To do this, we MUST HAVE THE COMPLETED PAPER WORK AT THE CONFERENCE.

We are asking that all participants bring

• 3 copies of a completed page 2 of the 141-EN with 3 contact names (if you plan to be a host partner)
• 3 copies of a completed page 3 of the 141-EN with 3 contact names (if you plan to be an international partner),
• 3 copies of page 7 of the 141-EN that will contain the signatures of the 3 contacts PLUS THE CLUB PRESIDENT.
• And 3 copies of page 8 of the 141-EN that contain the signature of the individual responsible for the final report for the grant

Please have these in hand when you go to negotiate your grant. We will help with page 5 of the 141-EN in an effort to finalize the financing necessary to complete the grant. Of course you will need:

• Page 1: the grant description and,
• Page 4: the completed budget

Since these don't require specific signatures, they can be completed at the conference, but the others requiring contact information and appropriate signatures should be brought with you to the conference. It is perfectly satisfactory to have these documents completed in Spanish, as we will have an abundance of translators to help with grant preparation.

A downloadable step by step grant process guideline is available on this site on the Download page

Thanks for your help in completing all the appropriate documents and bringing them to the conference.

In 1989-90 the 5520 District Governor Sonny Brown and the 4110 District Governor Boni Mora initiated a joint Conference between our district and the Mexican district to our immediate South. The purpose of the conference was to encourage international cooperation through fellowship, and by creating humanitarian grants to benefit the poor and needy. Over the years this conference has led to many mutually beneficial activities between the two districts. In 2002, PDG Bonnie Fairall got together with PDG Thompson and invited District 5470 to join what became the first Tridistrict conference in Chihuahua, Mexico. This year's celebration is being hosted by District 5470 in Pueblo, Colorado.
