MEETING UPDATE

Get Details and Register HERE.

President's Pen
Past President Camille Metoyer Moten is chairing our nominating committee. If you are interested in board or officer service to the club, please contact Camille.
 
I find our international leader to be an inspirational person. From Holger Knaack’s social media post this week - “Rotary has a big enough heart. If we open our door wider, we might find a lot of interesting people with new voices and new perspective.”
 
Bring a like-minded guest to hear some fascinating U.S. election commentary at noon this week. Let’s open our door wide.
~ John Sullivan

This is our national bell ringing video. We are encouraging all volunteers to watch this as it may answer some questions about safety and wellness related to Covid-19.

COVID Safety Protocol:

This year we are implementing safety protocols to ensure the health and safety of bell ringers, customers and associates.

General Guidelines:

  1. Before reporting for a shift, you need to review the national bell ringing video (see below) that shows best bell ringing practices during COVID.
  2. Follow current CDC and local guidelines related to exposure.  If you are exhibiting symptoms or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days, please reschedule your shift.
  3. You are required to wear a mask for the entirety of your shift.  If you do not wear a mask, the manager for location may ask you to leave.
  4. As an individual approaches the kettle, please step back to maintain social distancing.
  5. Bell ringers will not have any physical contact with donations or individuals.  Please allow donors to put the money into the kettle – do not assist them.
  6. Kettles will be equipped with Google Pay/Apple Pay to allow for a contactless donation option.

Salvation Army Night Watch
Lindy Hoyer has been in touch with the Salvation Army in regards to their winter watch food distribution program. She has signed our club up to serve on 4 nights beginning in December through February. Each shift will require up to 3 club members to sign up, two will be serving food and one will be the jump (person who organizes crowd outside and hands out clothing). At this time no drivers are needed. The shifts start at 5:45 p.m. at the SA Western Divisional Headquarters, 10755 Burt Street. If new to volunteering for SA, need to arrive a bit early to fill out paperwork. The shifts each night are from 5:45-8 p.m. Volunteers must bring and wear a mask, wear warm clothes.
 
 
Volunteer from Home
Send Happy Notes to residents at the Salvation Army’s Durham Booth Manor. This is a project that can be done at any time.
If we could get a few club members signed up to send them, Lindy Hoyer will get a committee member to coordinate the frequency of the notes.
Just cheery notes to brighten someone’s day.
