Another unprecedented month!!! How could we have predicted that our lives and those in our communities could have been impacted so totally by a bug we can't even see? But as always, Rotarians rise to the challenge. This month’s edition of the RD6000 NEWS will bring you up to date on what our 65 clubs have been doing to maintain the contact and fellowship among their members and what great work they are doing to support those in need in their communities. We’ve certainly not given in, but so many of our clubs really HAVE GIVEN!The financial outpouring from our clubs and members to support The Food Banks and local food pantries has truly been heartwarming. In little over three weeks, clubs and members in the District have contributed $36,000 to the District 6000 HEF for the Food Banks and even more than that in support of their local food pantries.
Check out this month’s RD6000 NEWS for stories about some of our really tech savvy clubs who are doing weekly Zoom meetings with all the bells and whistles to stay connected, and one who got a half hour live with RI President Mark Maloney.
You’ll also want to read about another casualty of the Pandemic that requires cancellation of the RD6000 Festival scheduled for Prairie Meadows in late June. But the good news is that the District will hold a virtual mass gavel passing to celebrate the successes of our current club presidents and a kickoff for the incoming presidents for the upcoming rotary year.
There’s also a reminder that the deadline is approaching to apply for District Community Service grants to support a great project your club may want to tackle in the upcoming year, what to do to make it eligible, even if your current year’s project may have been delayed by the lockdown.
ROTARY CONNECTS THE WORLD!
Erna Morain, Governor District 6000
