Upcoming stuff

 
We have entered the dog days of August and things have calmed a bit, so we are a bit light on news. However, we will be hosting Tamara Crowley this week from The Ellsworth Challenger Little league. A brief summary about the group and their cause below, from their Facebook page:
 
The Challenger Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League to enable boys and girls with physical and mental challenges, ages 4-18, or up to age 22 if still enrolled in high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide. Today, more than 30,000 children participate in more than 900 Challenger Divisions worldwide.
 
They are also the recipient of our August happy/sad dollars. Hope you can be there to give Tamara a warm welcome and learn about the wonderful activity, that they have upcoming.
 
Another reminder that our evening meeting will be at Project Social at 20 Mount Desert Street, across from the Village Green, at 5 PM on Wednesday September 6th. A great opportunity for fellowship and networking, so bring a friend!
 
Hope to see you all this Wednesday, have a great week!
 
 
Best,
 
Steve

Providing Clean Water
 
Clean water and sanitation is a human right. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, they lead healthier and more successful lives.
Rotary doesn’t just build wells and walk away. Rotary members integrate water, sanitation, and hygiene into education projects. When children learn about disease transmission and practice good hygiene, they miss less school. And they can take those lessons home to their families, expanding our impact.
 
Rotary has issued a global challenge to its members, asking them to work collectively to improve education quality and access — particularly for girls — by working with communities to improve teacher training, curriculum, and water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities.
 
To be a part of this success, make a gift to the Rotary Foundation.  Our goal is 100% participation with the MDI Rotary Club.  All gift sizes and gift purposes are important and will be matched by our club up to $50.  To make your gift, simply click here: https://map.rotary.org/en/selfservice/pages/SelectFundF.aspx?FUND=APF

Rotary Happenings
When we introduced Rotary Club Central in 2012, it revolutionized goal tracking and planning for clubs and districts — no more filling out paper club-planning forms or passing along boxes of historical club information every time a new leader took office. Rotary Club Central offered clubs and districts a quantifiable way to begin measuring local and global impact, specifically membership initiatives, service activities, and Rotary Foundation giving. But as with any technological advancement, in a few short years, Rotary Club Central began to show its age, and Rotarians took notice. They...
 
At its January 2017 meeting, the Rotary International Board of Directors adopted a new zone structure for Rotary clubs. Rotary bylaws require the Board to complete a comprehensive review of the 34 Rotary zones no less often than every eight years to ensure that each zone has an approximately equal number of Rotarians. The Board’s previous review of the zones occurred in 2008. The Board earlier approved the creation of three regional workgroups to develop rezoning proposals for Asia, Europe/Africa, and the Americas. These workgroups comprised one representative (either a current director,...
