"Winter Driving Safety" by Dave Rogers and "Rotary International online Tools" by Nancy Eidsvik
Only rarely do we have a double feature.  Today was one for the record books, two outstanding and informative presentations at our noon Zoom with 18 attendees
 
First up, our own Dave Rogers, who by virtue of many years driving trucks and buses in all conditions, steered us through some basic winter driving safety concerns.  Maybe driving fast, tail-gating, braking hard and changing direction without signalling are not savvy winter driving habits one should practice.  Dave emphasized extra caution in winter as slippery conditions make braking and steering much more difficult.  One more thing, he said, "be patient", another minute or two isn't that important.
 
 
For our matinee feature, guest, Nancy Eidsvik, past Assistant Governor, walked us through District 5040 website and myrotary.org.  She showed us how to log on, and where to navigate our way around.  She indicated that the District 5040 login is the same as our own Club website logon.  Myrotary.org requires a different login, and once you are set up, one has access to enormous resources.  In fact, the learning centre has segments in various languages, thus providing greater access to our worldwide members.  Knowledge is the key that opens up Rotary and provides doorways to countless opportunities for service, friendship and social activities.  myrotary.org offers an open invitation to get to know Rotary.  See you inside.
