It seems like a long time since we have met together. The coronavirus has really hit Michigan hard. I hope that as a club we can find some things to do to help our community. I know that Comstock Park schools are feeding many children during this time. I am sure that each of you are doing whatever you can, even if it is just staying inside like we are told to do. We have an opportunity to help after the disaster comes to an end. I am sure we will have some ideas. I hope that all this finds you well and I hope that each of you will keep Michigan in our prayers. I would like to thank Janet for doing the newsletter and also Sharon for setting up the phone tree. Stay safe and let us know if there are any difficulties that we can help you with. Can't wait until we meet together again.
With love,
Cindy

COVID-19 and Rotary
Things you can do as a Rotarian during the COVID-19 Pandemic:
-Check your emails for the CP Rotary phone tree
-CP Rotary is working on a creative solution to hold our meetings during this pandemic. Be on the lookout for emails regarding potential meetings using Zoom or another similar platform.
-Check on neighbors and relatives
-Check on elderly acquaintances and offer to help with shopping
-Get creative on staying in contact with people while maintaining social distancing
The best prevention for viruses, such as influenza, the common cold or COVID-19 is to:
If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19, call your health care provider. If you do not have a health care provider, call the nearest hospital.
Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. If not available, use hand sanitizer.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or upper sleeve when coughing or sneezing.
Avoid contact with people who are sick.
If you are sick, stay home, and avoid contact with others.
Stay at least 6 feet away from others when in a public setting.
Please see your email for a recent note from Sharon including a phone tree attachment. This is critical for the Club to use during this unprecedented time.
