Elmbrook Rotary Youth Protection Committee Chairperson Gwen Condon recently talked at a Friday morning meeting to let members know that every year Rotary International asks clubs to renew and maintain their commitment to youth protection. All Rotarians who have one-on-one contact with children must have background checks completed. Gwen is looking to complete this process as soon as possible, especially with the school year starting at Capitol West Academy.
 
According to Gwen, if there is a current volunteer affidavit on file, (less than 5 years old)  we will submit the current information for an updated background check.  If there was never one completed  or it has been 5 years or more, the form can be completed online at the following link  that can be found on the District 6270 website in the Youth Protection information section,   link to the affidavit:
 
 
Also, if there are any Rotarians who have current affidavits but have moved and need to change their contact information, please contact Gwen as well.
