Hi Everyone,
What an amazing bunch of human beings you are!
All D9685 clubs are now comfortably using online meeting options or have plans for engaging with them in the immediate future. And reports are that meeting attendance levels are through the roof, reflecting the ease of the medium, and the fun it is generating.
So, thank you all for being so flexible, and taking on a whole new world of Rotary.
If you feel like occupying more of your isolation time with Rotary catch ups, there is a register of clubs who are meeting online around the world at this link:
The time and country of their meeting are included in case you are feeling adventurous!!
But overall it is great to be part of such a fabulous group of people who are making connections with a world they could not have imagined just a few short weeks ago – well done!!

COVID-19
Those registered for the International Convention in Hawaii will have received details from me recently concerning claiming for travel and accommodation costs. However, a handful of those registered would not have received that message. So if YOU registered, and did not receive that message from me on April 6, please let me know.
