Last Thursday we had dinner at the Clyde with President Matt presiding. Some spouses were in attendance, and we had a good meal and good conversation.
Today DG Keith Brokke, and I met with Linda Kemp from Chicago who told us about the Rotary Means Business Fellowship. The mission of the Fellowship is to, "Support the success of fellow Rotarians by doing business with them, and by referring others to them". This is a worldwide networking Fellowship that has been very effective in recruiting young professionals to join Rotary. We will share a video at one of our upcoming meetings that will describe how a District or multi-District Fellowship is chartered.
March is Rotary Water and Sanitation Month.
Our Club's District grant Nigeria project is a WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) project. Our funding is providing the water well system and the mound sanitation system for the Health Care clinic.
Thought for the Week
"We shall not defeat any of the infectious diseases that plague the developing world until we have also won the battle for safe drinking water, sanitation, and basic health care."
