Testimonials “Sometimes we don’t always know how impactful the little things we do can be. Imagine the little girl just last week stayed home until 10:00am until the rain stopped. Now, because she has a rain coat and an umbrella, she will be at the school when the doors open, able to eat breakfast and receive her math and reading instruction just because someone cared enough to donate an umbrella and rain coat.” - Camille Anderson-Finley

Sustaining and Growing Where the project goes from here

Passing the Umbrella Boots & Brella’s Proposal to Rotary Club “As President Elect of Montgomery Sunrise Rotary I would like to put together a work group that would include members of Local Rotary Clubs, Rotary District 6880 Youth Services Chairman, Montgomery Highschool Interact clubs along with representatives from Leadership Montgomery and Montgomery Public Schools to draw up a working plan to move the program to Montgomery Rotary and Interact clubs. The Leadership Montgomery Program had success in 2018 with its objectives. Moving forward it can accomplish even greater goals by involving larger organizations and serve more students in need. The Montgomery Rotary Organizations can benefit by encouraging interaction between Rotary Clubs and the Interact clubs they sponsor. It will foster a working relationship that will expose elementary school children to Rotary and hopefully lead them to become future Interactors. The goal will be to help children in our community succeed in school.” - Glenn Crumpton
