Club News:   January 26th, 2022
Fellow Rotarians,
* As I am sure you are aware, the number of positive COVID cases in our community has increased considerably. At our  last board meeting it was determined that for the time being we will not be eating lunch at our noon meetings.   To be clear, this includes ordered lunch as well as "bring your own."

We will require that everyone attending the meeting wear a mask at all times. I expect that for some this will be frustrating, but we want to take every step we can to continue in-person meetings and avoid going virtual.   We will continue to monitor the case numbers in our community and hope to get back to "normal" in the next few months.    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

* Last week we heard from Charles Brown & Ari Penner from the Ronald McDonald House Charities. They left us with lots of service ideas to consider!        

* This week we are going to start preparing for "Butt Buster '22."  The program will be a over-all review of the "Butt Buster Event" led by committee chair Jodi Sundaram.  She will  discuss past events to catch up our newer members and start the discussion about this year's event.  Now is the time to be gathering our sponsorships and assigning committee responsibilities!

 
Hope to see you Wednesday.

  Families with a hospitalized child have so much more to think of outside of taking care of their number on prioity, family. That's where you step in. You can help families focus on their child's medical care by helping with their day-to-day needs.

JANUARY: Vocational Service Month

Shekhar Mehta, RI President 2021-22                                                                                                                  

January 2022:     One of Rotary’s founding principles was to use your vocation — whether as a doctor, lawyer, engineer, or another profession — to do good in the world.  As we attempt to overcome and recover from the pandemic, this principle is vital in retraining people who have lost their jobs. In response, the Rotary E-Club of Tamar Hong Kong organized seminars for young people, with the aim of preparing them for the changing world of work.

This type of training must happen on a large scale. According to the United Nations, global unemployment is expected to exceed 200 million people in 2022. Women and youths are likely to be disproportionately affected.
