I’ve been fortunate to be at work this whole time.  Did not miss one day.  Obviously, many changes were in place, but 7am to 5pm every day.  Only one other employee in the office.  All others working from home.  Surreal.  Kept 53 electricians busy with essential food processing, food distribution & hospital material manufacturing.  My wife, a medical practice manager, didn't miss a day either.  At times it was like we were the only  humans around.  Again, surreal.
 
I can’t wait to enjoy the unfettered and carefree camaraderie of Wednesdays at noon! PP Andy Fletcher
 
 
Foundation Giving 2.0 - Rotary Gifts Do Make a Difference
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and Rotarians’ demand for immediate projects to support their communities, significantly more global grants than during previous years were approved this year. The pandemic in addition to normal requests for grant funding exhausted World Fund availability for matching global grant awards for the remainder of this Rotary year. In a way, the good news is that through our continuing contributions to the Foundation, Rotary had the capacity to step up and help just at a time when the citizens of Earth need the help most.
 
As Rotarians aid recovery, now more than ever, giving to Rotary’s Annual Fund is key to continuing these Covid-19 projects. We also have the ongoing need to fund projects that help improve life worldwide with clean water, other health concerns, educational improvements all to promote world peace.
 
The Rotary Foundation’s year-end is quickly approaching on June 30th 2020.

While many of our donors give each year by check, given the circumstances due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Foundation’s mail and gift processing has been delayed. With this in mind, donors are strongly encouraged to contribute online at www.rotary.org/donate. Each Rotarian has an account with Rotary and you can use your name and account number to access your own account online.
 
If you need assistance finding your number or want to simply use the Rotary Club of Lancaster to forward your contribution to the Foundation, you can contact either Scott Owens at scott.owens341@gmail.com or Kathy Hainley at rotarycluboflancaster@gmail.com

Announcements
 
RCL Fellowship Event?
Perhaps there should be a RCL Fellowship event to “green” Centre County, whereas we can all get our hair cut, colored, yes, we are The RCL, we get our hair colored, eat at Kelly’s Steak House and then visit The Rathskellar or Otto’s Pub for drinks.
 
We of course must still follow the guidelines set forth by the powers to be:
 
Any gathering for a planned or spontaneous event of greater than 250 individuals is prohibited.
We will have to watch our numbers closely
 
Places of worship are excluded from the limitations that are established by the order, but are encouraged to enforce social distancing and other measures such as wearing masks.
The Chaplain Committee can come-up with a service on the bus
 
Restaurants and bars open at 50% occupancy
We may have to choose a bigger bar
 
Personal care services (including hair salons and barber shops) open at 50% occupancy and by appointment only
Appointments will have to be made, hence the Registration Committee.  They’ve not been busy lately.
 
Indoor recreation, health and wellness facilities, and personal care services (such as gyms and spas) open at 50% occupancy with appointments strongly encouraged
Don’t need to worry about this on this excursion.  No exertion on the excursion.
 
All entertainment (such as casinos, theaters and shopping malls) open at 50% occupancy
No worries, Wally will provide all the entertainment we can handle.
 
All businesses must follow CDC and DOH (Department of Health) guidance for social distancing and cleaning
Just use the RCL rule used when looking for a seat at the lunch meeting.  Example: “Where’s PP Minney?  Okay, see him, I’ll sit over here.”
 
Monitor public health indicators, adjust orders and restrictions as necessary
I think this means to watch the “liquorheads” in the Club and handle accordingly.

Now, are we “legal” to load a bus at the Farm & Home Center to get out of the “yellow zone?”  We may have to contact the Greater Ronks Rotary Club for buggy service.

Joys & Concerns
 
Jeffery Butch Birthday Missed
This editor apologizes for overlooking Jeff’s birthday on June 23rd.  Happy birthday Jeff!
 
 
 
Joy from Dave Foulk
We have such a wonderful neighborhood and now that we are all home, we have become very close.  I made whoopie pies for the neighborhood several weeks ago, the adults loved them more than the children.  We take turns with having social distancing happy hour.  One more happy note, my new neighbor who moved into Patti and Ted’s house, is a liquor salesman (isn’t that the luckiest thing in the world).  He always has good vodka.  In the afternoons, Fred and I sit outside and the neighbors drop by and we talk and it has become a perfect fellowship time for all of us.  It has slowed us all down a bit and we are happy about it.  Maybe, we were to have learned some lessons from this quarantine time…
