8 volunteers braved minus 14 degrees to serve breakfast to approximately 40 people this past Tuesday. Why were the numbers so much lower than previously? Because it was so cold.
Covid protocol prohibits the program from offering a warm shelter as well as breakfast. Where have the homeless gone? That is the fearful question.
The Good Food Box Program is running on the 18, 19 & 20 of January.
We still need volunteers for Wednesday January 19th. Please contact Jeannie.
The Community Service Committee met on January 11. Next meeting is February 8.
The Rotary continuum starts at the club level and grows. There is a much larger Rotary world that is just waiting for you to embrace it once you understand what it is all about. Come and join us at the upcoming Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) sessions being offered via ZOOM in February (Part 1), March (Part 2) and April (Part 3), 2022. RLI is open to all Rotarians and Rotaractors in District 7090. It is an excellent opportunity to meet new Rotary friends (albeit virtually) and expand your Rotary experience.
RLI is made up of three parts (covering six topics per part – the topics range from My Leadership in Rotary, The Rotary Foundation, Attracting Members, to Effective Leadership Strategies… plus many more). A more detailed outline of the topics is attached to this e-mail.
To graduate from RLI you will need to attend all three parts and you MUST take them in sequential order (Part 1, then Part 2, then Part 3). While it is a commitment, it is well worth it. You will grow in Rotary and the fellowship is one of the best parts of all Rotary events.
Also attached is an agenda, which outlines when and what sessions are being held in February, March and April, 2022
