This morning (4/04/20) I attended a Zoom meeting with the Rotary E Club of Keystone, I was invited by a Rotarian from Pennsylvania who I had meet at the RI Convention at Toronto in 2018. Total participants were 22 and the meeting commenced this morning at 7am (NZ Time), 2pm Friday there time.
- Attendees were from Pennsylvania, North Caroline,Colorado, Texas, New York, Jamaica, Canada,Tanzania and other USA states I had missed. The meeting duration was for approximately 90 minutes.
- The meeting include a guest speaker from Tanzania and included a Power Point Presentation on his project to support the disabled through producing wheelchairs all specifically made to suit each persons needs Each chair was at a cost of $US 260-00. I noted that the front wheel on the chair was centrally mounted, this was to enable them to travel over rough terrain.They are desperate need of a additional 42 chairs.
- They spoke about a number of clubs that have projects that won’t be completed this Rotary year and suggested those funds could channeled to the Rotary Foundation .
- Corona-19 was discussed at length and one person described in there town they had 37 cases but only had 2 ICU beds therefore had five deaths.
I certainly enjoyed listening to other Rotarians “Connecting Rotary to the World”.
It is a fabulous day in Otaki, no wind, not a cloud in the sky and currently 15 degrees, a Rotarian from Canada advise there weather was minus 15 degrees and snowing !!!
I hope to attend there E meeting next Saturday morning even though it will be 6am (NZ Time) meeting with our our daylight saving change.
