Tono briefly described the project (and its attempt to change the culture of hygiene through

Ron reported that the Project CURE equipment project had been divided into two sections
so that we could use more club sponsors and so that we could get the grant model
approved to help expedite future similar projects. The Phase 1 grant will provide three
containers of equipment and supplies for four hospitals and will be submitted this week,
with the knowledge that some official hospital letters will still be required. The Phase 2
grant has been expanded for up to 4 containers for 4 hospitals to accommodate a request
from the Florida satellite (which they had planned for next year). The Phase 2 grant is not
fully funded.
