We had our last hybrid in-person/Zoom meeting on June 24th, 2020. At the time, we did not realize that this would be the last in-person club meeting of the year 2020!
 
Like the rest of the clubs, we struggled with getting good attendance on Zoom calls and looking for projects that our members could participate in. With COVID19, there are several challenges but it has also provided opportunities.
 
  • In October for World Polio Day, local clubs used to do Pints for Polio. However, with restrictions in place, we came up with Pounding the Pavement 4 Polio--a virtual walk that united other Rotarians from other parts of the world to join in, which would not have been possible otherwise.
  • Our Southside Club also volunteered at the
    • Food Bank in October,
    • Salvation Army Bell Ringing, and
    • the Agape Ranch Christmas Drive-thru store in December.
 
Even though COVID brought forward unprecedented challenges, we certainly made the most of it!
