| In the fall of 2006, Tom Grant, President, and the board
decided to undertake a community needs analysis to help put a
focus on our up coming projects and funding plans. A committee
was formed to look at community needs and at the
conclusion late 2006, it was clear Homelessness was a key issue
in the valley. This was not a new issue and many other local
organizations were active with this problem. Comox Rotary to
make this issue a priority an established a committee to
investigate how Rotary could make a difference. The result was a
commitment to provide $30,000 in seed money over 2 years to
assist with the start up of a new community non profit
organization that would work with other local groups in
providing solutions to the Valley's homeless. The result
was the creation of the Dawn to Dawn Society, who has been
active in creating solution to homeless and creating housing. To
