The November 5, 2017 Task Force meeting was held at the Galena Steak House in Dixon, IL. Due to light attendance, the meeting focused primarily on what we have discerned to date. Several more organizations have been discovered. Representative Adam Kinzinger recently held a forum to discuss this issue. We will make contact with his office to maintain a flow of information.
Toni spoke with DG Steve Kuhn at the Rotary Foundation dinner. At a recent zone meeting, Steve learned that similar task forces exist in those zones. Steve will get contact information for those zones to Toni who will then contact each of them to learn what, if anything, is happening in their clubs and attempt to coordinate efforts.
Our task force continues to seek members who want to be actively involved in efforts to combat slavery and human trafficking. Anyone who merely wants to be kept informed of what is happening is directed to the District 6420 Newsletter. We will report via the newsletter. One thought regarding our newsletter presence was to have one paragraph concerning the reason for our committee and one paragraph highlighting one particular organization working on this problem.
Our next meeting will be held on Sunday, January 14, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. at Galena Steak House, Dixon, IL. Please RSVP to Toni no later than January 7, 2018.
