Show Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, March 12-15, 2011 A-9: The Park Record Deadline March 15 for grants Local 501c3 groups may apply for a piece of $20,000 By ANDREW KIRK of the Record Staff A sunny and festive Miners Day celebration last Labor Day has translated into more money than usual available to local non-profit groups. The Park City Rotary Club sells beverages and raises money through other means at the annual Miners Day events in order to give about $14,000 in grants. The good weather in 2010 resulted in excellent attendance, so the club raised about $20,000, said club member Insa Riepen. Every Rotary Club gives annual grants to local groups, she said. The money comes from member donations as well as fundraising efforts. Locally, the money serves some of the most-beloved charities and helps new groups get started. Emerging from a challenging economy, non-profit groups have seen increased demand for their services and decreasing donations. They may be lacking operational funds, or seed money to begin a new program. Last year, one grant allowed the Park City Museum to host a free "locals day," she said. The Park City Rotary accepts applications for the funds. The deadline is March 15. A frequently-asked question is who qualifies for the grants, Riepen said. The applicant must be based locally and be an organization, not an indi- vidual. "This is money from locals, given back to local non-profits," she added. Applicants are also required to show how the money was spent. According to the grant qualifications, the typical amount is for between $500 and $2,500. The applicant must be a 501H»3 organization. A Rotary club member must sponsor the applicant - they just need to ask someone, Riepen added. Preferences are given to uses of the money that align with Rotary's guiding principles, which can be found at www.rotary.org. The club strives to create a balance of donations among different levels of impact: at the community, national or international level, the guidelines said.

The project took a year to complete. Little will change at the existing clinic on Bonanza Drive. A few physicians will move their offices to Quinn's Junction. Park City Clinic's second location will open this May The Park City Clinic's new building at Quinn's Junction is almost done, said Bill Pidwell, one of the clinic's physicians and principals. Tenants will begin moving in May 1 and a grand opening will be held in late May, he said. Ground was broken for construction of the 24,000square-foot facility a year ago. The new building is an addition to the Park City Clinic on Bonanza Drive and not a replacement facility. Some of the physicians from the Bonanza Park location will permanently move to Quinn's Junction, but nothing else will change, Pidwell said. The new building will also provide urgent care services. Subtenants include a cafe", a pharmacy, Summit Pediatrics, Applegate Homecare and Hospice and physicians for Intermountain Healthcare's Park City Medical Center. Cecil Duvall, owner of the Cafe" Galleria in Midway, will operate the building's cafe" and serve the same bagels, bagel sandwiches, soups and salads as served in Midway, plus gelato. The bagels are wood-fired, hand-made and boiled in the same method used in Montreal, Canada in the early 1900s, Duvall said. www.parkcityinfo.com/local Connect Keep it PC - Andrew Kirk TANKLESS WATER HEATERS TANK TYPE" STORAGE WATER HEATERS BOILERS express NATURAL GAS-ELECTRIC- PROPANE RADIANT HEAT & SNOWMELT SYSTEMS PARK O r r S LOCAL HOT WATER EXPERT WATER SOFTENERS GAS PIPING WE BEAT THE COMPETITION - INCLUDING HOME DEPOT - EVERY TIME!
