Week 40, March 29, 2020
Welcome back! More than half of our clubs are now meeting by video, and more are planning to. Others are arranging phone trees and emails to make sure they look after each other. I’ve been on three video meetings so far, and they’ve been fun–a great way to reconnect. If you need a speaker, consider our Youth Exchange kids—they’d love to share what is happening to their families right now. One club is reaching out to Rotary in Italy to find a speaker for their next meeting. There is a World of opportunities.
Some clubs have found ways to help deal with the epidemic; two areas seem especially popular:
- Making masks and gowns for hospitals; and
- Feeding kids and families who are suddenly short of food.
If your club is working in these areas, let me know. We want to find a way for clubs to share what is working.
Save April 24 & 25 for our virtual District Training Assembly. It will be held in your house or office. Stay tuned for details.
Meanwhile, let’s all help “flatten the curve” so our hospitals and our economy can get back to normal. Be careful out there.
