Meeting No 41 - 20 February 2016
Lithuania's National Day is 16 February
Welcome to meeting No. 41 of
the Rotary eClub of Latitude 38
February is Rotary's Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month
President's Message
Welcome to Meeting No. 41. This week's meeting material includes two Rotary items: the February 2016 Newsletter of Rotarians Against Malaria (RAM) and a piece on Rotary in Lithuania - 16 February is Lithuania's national day. There is also a short video on a 12 year-old app developer and a longer one on the future of philanthropy.
A couple of members have asked about what they can do to improve their participation in the club. One thing you can do is to send a "reply all" email commenting on the contents of each meeting. I look forward to your participation in this way even if it's just to say that you have read or looked at the material. Contribution of material for meetings would also be welcome and I know one or two members have already done that. I know the Website Manager appreciates that kind of support.
Enjoy the meeting and have a good week.
Yours in Rotary
Kerrie S.
