Thursday's Business Meeting is In-Person and a Zoom Meeting
Thursday's busines meeting is in-person at Continental and a zoom meeting at 12:15.  Please see Brett's email for the zoom link and food order link.
Last Week's Meeting
Last week our speaker was Joanna Prisiajniouk, Rotarian from the River Cities Rotary Club, who spoke to us about relief efforts for Ukriane and explained the history of Ukraine.  Steve has been helping obtain medical supplies that have been sent to Ukraine and Joanna has relatives in the country who advise her about what is needed during this difficult and tragic time.  What is desparately needed are tourniquets and here is how you can help.
Here's the information on where to order tourniquets and where to go to ship them to Ukraine.
 
 
Ukrainian Shipping Services:
Kalyna
338 S. Rohlwing Rd
Palatine, IL 60074
 
Ask to ship to Marta Vovchasta...she is listed under Joanna Prisiajniouk, phone number 847-738-2205. 
 
This package weighs 17.2 lbs. Shipping by air is $2.85 plus delivery services, so expect to pay $70.30 for it to arrive in a couple of weeks. It will be half this cost approximately by sea but it will take a month to arrive.
