Join us in person or via zoom to hear District Court Judge Shane A. Vannatta share about the court system in Montana.
President Victoria highlighted challenges the club has faced in 2020-21 and how we have tackled those challenges, including a pandemic, Governors Ballroom construction and caterer changes, among others. We added Zoom meetings for those who couldn't attend in person and started a new meal card system that allows us to buy a 12-meal card, or pay for meals at each meeting instead of all in advance. We also added online pay capability through ClubRunner for meals, Happy Bucks and events. 
Kathy Schulte took on the Treasurer's duties and has done a wonderful job fixing some of the issues from last year and cleaning up the books. We have more Paul Harris Fellow Awards to be given out due to her sending members an update on their points gathered to date and will have a Paul Harris day on May 19th to celebrate Paul Harris's birthday. 
Awards and other projects. Although we have not been able to hold live fundraising events, we have raised over $6,000 the club can make available to various charities. 
Our Rotaract club was revived by Austin Parson and Carol Swartz who plan on gathering new members. Many thanks to Minot Maser and those Rotarians who helped us recruit these young professionals. We hope to see more members join them this year. 
As scientists work to find a vaccine for the new coronavirus, we can do our part to keep our communities healthy by helping Rotary spread the word about the importance of vaccinations during World Immunization Week, April 24-30, 2021.
Immunizations save millions of lives every year and are widely recognized as one of our most successful and cost-effective health interventions. Yet outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases continue to put children’s health at risk around the world.
Rotary knows firsthand that #VaccinesWork. Since 1985, we’ve contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly three billion children from polio. When children receive the polio vaccine, their pinkie fingers are marked with purple ink so health workers will know which children received the vaccine. Today, only two countries continue to report cases of polio caused by the wild poliovirus: Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Take action in three easy ways:
Raise awareness of vaccination and polio eradication efforts by painting your nails — or pinkie — purple, or customize our new End Polio Now artwork with your signature and words of support. Post your pictures on social media using the hashtags #EndPolio and #VaccinesWork.
Download Rotary’s World Immunization Week Toolkit to get graphics and sample social media posts.
Donate to Rotary’s PolioPlus Fund. Your contribution will be tripled, thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
