Haiti National Clean Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Strategy
 
Joining us from Pignon, Haiti, Neil Van Dine will introduce us to HANWASH (Haiti National Clean Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Strategy). This collaborative national initiative is helping to provide thoughtfully managed and sustainable clean water and sanitation to all citizens of Haiti. The initiative is led by Rotary District 7020 and DINEPA (The Haitian Government’s National Water and Sanitation Agency), along with other non-governmental organization (NGO) partners, such as Haiti Outreach and Pure Water for the World. The $300,00 project is in the process of a second HANWASH Global Grant for phase two in the Cavaillon Commune in Haiti.

Mr. Van Dine is a member of the Rotary District 9980 E-Club of WASH and the WASH Rotary Action Group.

MAR 11 FIRE CAPTAIN LANDIS BFD
Fire Captain Kevin B. Landis of the Bethlehem Fire Department gave us comprehensive background information about the city's fire department and who our local firefighters are. As I am out of town this week with very limited internet access, a follow up story on this important presentation will be in the next bulletin.

MAR 08 TJ ELEMENTARY UPDATE
We wanted to reach out to tell you how thankful we are for your donation earlier this year! We were able to stock up our trading posts which is essential to our students especially with this year beginning the way it was. We were able to stock it up with things they may need here at school or at home like socks, umbrellas, fidget spinners, art supplies, water bottles, as well as mindfulness and other incentives and so much more! Also, because we have hearing impaired children that are dependent on lip reading, clear masks for our students and teachers are always in need as well. 
 
We use this as a way to reinforce great behavior like doing all their work at home and school, having a great attitude, being a leader, and helping their teachers or friends. I've attached a couple pictures below so you can see for yourself! We will then purchase the items to restock our TJ Trading post.  Included in the items we will purchase will be hats, scarfs, umbrellas, students masks,   I am so grateful for the continued support of the Rotary. 
 
   
 
Thank you for all you do for our community! 
 
 
 
ROTARY PRIORITY -  DEI

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Intro Workshop

 
A top priority for Rotary is growing and diversifying our membership to make sure we reflect the communities we serve and are inclusive to all cultures, experiences and identities. District 7430 is pleased to announce the formation of the D7430 Diversity Equity & Inclusion Committee. This committee is led by Co-Chairs Mary Cook (Collegeville RC) and Dan Watson-Bey (Harleysville RC.) The first meeting was held via zoom on March 6 with over 70 participants from around the country! We look forward to expanding the Global Reach of Rotary and especially reaching out to our communities in new and exciting ways. As more information becomes available we will provide.
 
MAR 10 TRF APPALACHIAN TRAIL CHALLENGE
                                       image                            
 
Help support the Rotary Foundation Annual Fund-SHARE Fund by sponsoring me as I complete the last 110 miles of my Appalachian Trail adventure so that we can fund even more of your club's projects!  Here is the donation link: https://www.rotarydistrict7430.org/donate.
 
As many of you know, I've been section hiking the nearly 2200 mile Appalachian Trail for the past 15 years and have completed over 2050 miles. Last spring, the pandemic forced me to delay completing the trail for a year, but this upcoming Spring, I plan to hike the last 110 miles in North Carolina and Georgia. 
 
The Rotary Foundation has enabled our district’s 46 clubs to work on many local and global projects through district and global grants. Thanks to your generosity, each year, our district receives over $100,000 in District Designated Funds for these grants. During the past few years, nearly every club in our district has received one or more grants to help their local communities and also to do amazing global projects.
 
You can sponsor me for any amount.  As an added incentive, our District Foundation team has created the TRIPLE 110 challenge!
  1. I complete the last 110 miles of the Appalachian trail.
  2. You support the Annual Fund by contributing $110 or more to the Annual Fund SHARE through the link below.
  3. The district matches your donation with 110 additional Paul Harris points (in addition to your donation) to get you closer to your next Paul Harris Fellow recognition level.
Please consider sponsoring me with a donation to the Rotary Foundation Annual Fund through the following link: https://www.rotarydistrict7430.org/donate.
 
Thank you!
PDG Herb Klotz
