Questions and Answers About District Grants for 2021-22 

 
Our speaker today was Bill Harvey, Rotary District 5650 Foundation Chair who spoke to us about some possible ways we might be able to get a District Grant and what type of project we might want to work on.  Rotary has added a seventh focus which might just fit our club quite well.  That seventh focus is "Protecting our Environment."  Rotary International's other six focuses are:  Water and sanitation, education and literacy, disease prevention and treatment, economic and community development, maternal and child health, and promoting peace.

Lincoln East Rotary Club

Vacation!!!!
At our meetings we try to ask our members if there is something they are happy about as they contribute to Polio Plus.  For the first time, one of the themes of late has been “VACATION.”  Members are starting to think about traveling.  Oh, my goodness.  What is “traveling?” Now that we’re vaccinated, could we go somewhere?  Where could we go?  Would others there be vaccinated?  The newspaper said this AM that a recent Pfizer study showed that vaccine to be effective for at least 6 months.  The girls (my dogs) and I have each gained the requisite 12 pounds during the pandemic so we need to go somewhere that allows us to walk and swim.  OK, I’ll be studying the AAA brochures for “dog-friendly” places.  My girls are furry so spring is out time versus summer.  Can’t wait!
 
 
Happy Dollars for Polio Plus 

Reminder our goal for 2020-2021 is:  $1800.00

If you had a reason to be happy on March 31st you can send Dick a check.  These checks can be mailed once a month.  Dick did inform us that we have received $1,562.00 so far for Polio Plus.  Let's try to top our $1800.00 goal.

Since we are doing our meetings virtually you can send your Polio Plus dollars in a check made out to Lincoln East Rotary and send it to our Treasurer, Dick Cumming, 2312 S. 75th Street, Lincoln, NE 68506.
