Career Day - School #8

Friday, June 12th

Do you know of any Rotarians who may be  ill? 

One of the functions of the Friendship Committee is to visit Rotarians who are confined to their home, the hospital, a rehab unit or nursing home due to a sustained illness.  We have found that they really appreciate a visit.  But we need your help.  We can only make contact with those Rotarians who have been brought to our attention.  So, if you hear about someone who should be seen, please don't assume we know.

Please call Myrna at 546-7435 x201 to convey the information.

   

Birthday gift contributions made will benefit the students at our adopted school, School #8, Roberto Clemente School #8 scholarship students and community service projects with in our community. You may mail your gift to the Rotary Office or bring it with you to a Tuesday meeting.

District 7120 Webinar Series

District 7120 has created this series of webinars so that every club can learn at a pace and time convenient to you and your members.  The webinars will also be recorded and available for viewing for at least 6 months.  You just won't be able to ask questions.

One thing I would like to mention is that while this is the Rotary District 7120 Webinar Series and is targeted specifically to Rotary Clubs, the webinars will be open to everyone.  So if you have a Rotarian prospect and think she or he might benefit from the information, please invite them to participate.  I am hopeful that we can also use the webinars as a recruiting tool.  These webinars will be free for everyone.

Interact Project at District Assembly 

Interactors are doing a District Interact project and would like the help of Rotarians.  We are collecting small size tooth paste, tooth brushes, shampoos, conditioners, soap, washcloths, combs and brushes to make toiletry bags to be given to a women's shelter or kids in crisis (foster care).  These bags will be assembled at the District Assembly.  Our goal is 100 bags.  If your club could help collect these items and send them to the District Assembly or contact Mary Anne Cooper, District Chair at mcooper2@stny.rr.com.
