sources: (1) Rotary Club of Kanpur, INDIA; (2) District Rotarian contributions; (3) Contribution from District #6560; and (4) Grant from International matching the funds
from District #6560. Dick Collings was a previous District Governor, now deceased, who was responsible for raising funds to purchase the first "Sight On Wheels" which
became operable in January 1992. Forms will be on the tables for the next few weeks to allow Rotarians to make contributions to this very worthwhile project.
