"No Zoom in June"
 
The Pandemic has certainly been an adjustment for all of us.  For several years, we have used Zoom to attend the meetings and it has helped us "see one another".  Thankfully, our weekly in -person member attendance has increased.  In order for the Rotary Club of Lancaster to get back to some sort of normalcy, the Board has decided on "No Zoom in June".  We would like to have in-person meetings only and see all of you, our members, back and seated at the tables at the Farm & Home Center.  We most certainly will enjoy the conversations with one another (in-person) as we had prior to the Pandemic.

Rotary: Service to Others with Personal Benefit

When we join Rotary we become aware of the many ways our Rotary Club and the Rotary Foundation promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water and sanitation, save mothers & children, support education, grow local economies, and protect the environment.  We each have our own favorite ways that Rotary benefits others.

However, we find that we receive many benefits.  Most obvious is the joy of helping others.  But we benefit in many other ways such as fellowship, networking, community awareness, personal growth, assistance when traveling, social interaction, cultural awareness, ethics, business awareness, and so much more.

At our next meeting we will explore how we Give and how we Get as Rotarians.
The club paid tribute to Harold Keller, the Auctioneer for the Straw"burry" Auction.

President Rob with our speaker, Pedro Rivera of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology.
 
110 people attended.

Make This Year A Great Foundation Year!
 
We’re entering our last month of the 2021-2022 Rotary Year and as Nick Downey outlined at our weekly meeting, we’re north of $20,000 in giving to the Rotary Foundation. That’s the best level of commitment our club has enjoyed since Covid. If we can contribute an additional $9,000 before June 30, we will achieve our $30,000 goal.
 
This might sound like a broken record, but our Foundation contributions help to fund projects for clean water, women’s and children’s health initiatives, sanitary systems, education, and other basic environmental, community, and food needs; and polio plus. There’s probably a good thing in sounding like a broken record. That means the Rotary Foundation is very consistent in their approach to funding the basics in our world. Not a lot of change and lots of great oversight to meeting these fundamentals. If we provide for the fundamentals for people, they can then listen to us about how to achieve world peace. Otherwise, they’re focused on finding the fundamentals!
 
As you consider a final gift for this year to the Rotary Foundation, consider one other important item. When the Rotary Club of Lancaster applies for an international or a community matching grant, the size of our contributions to the foundation impact our ability to receive the grant we need, and our club does have great ideas.
For those of you that have contributed $21,168 so far this year; thank you, thank you, thank you! We look forward to concluding the year with the word GREAT.
