Virtual Fellowship Meeting 4/2 at 12:15
From Shannon who sent out a survey to our members asking their preferences for when to hold a virtual club meeting:
 
The results of our survey are in! Thank you to the 30 Rotarians who clicked on the survey and provided their feedback.
 
The majority of those who voted selected that we continue with our Thursday afternoon (12:15 PM) time. So that is what we will do!
 
Here is the Zoom link for this week's meeting. I have set this up as a recurring meeting so it will be the same Zoom link each week (feel free to copy this over to your calendar if you would like to have quick access to it each week)
 
I will email this out again on Thursday morning...

Foundation Minute - Staying Hopeful and Creative
A POEM OF HOPE
NY Times March 27, 2020
 
Here where all seems lost
We witness selfless actions from
Brave doctors and nurses, grocery
store cashiers, truck drivers, police and others
 
Spring feels close and trees bring
Hope of new beginnings where once
Bare limbs reminded us of Winters past
 
Nature reminds us all must pass and
new life springs forth when all seems lost.
 
Use these days of enforced solitude to rethink why we do what we do and whether it still makes sense – reach out to validate the needs of our individual communities and residents – and as Rotarians, craft creative solutions to solve them.
 
We are People of Action and we are needed now more than ever!

New Facebook Page for Our Club
Melanie has created a Facebook page so we can stay connected that way if you choose to.  Go to  BG Rotary COVID-19 Touch Base FB Group! and join us.  As Melanie said:
Feel free to utilize this page if you'd like to check in and let us know how you are faring through this unprecedented time! Let us know what you're doing to stay busy (and sane), and if there is anything you believe we could all benefit from.
