Recently the Rotary Club of Mystic honored non profit area agencies WARM, Martin House and The Stonington Historical Society. The agencies were three of 24 recipients of grants and scholarships from the Rotary Club this past spring.

Rotary awards grants to area non profit agencies twice a year. The Fall grant cycle is in progress. Those agencies wishing consideration should write a letter to the Grants Committee Chairman, Rotary Club of Mystic, P.O. Box 153, Mystic, CT 06355.
