Speaking of reaching out all over the world, don't miss this week's presenter, Past District Governor Sergii Zavadskii of RC Kyiv (Ukraine). Here’s a link to Sergii’s Rotary Bio:  https://rotary-if.club/en/sergii-zavadskii-gubernator-distri/
 
We'll use our normal Zoom link. Please do register, it is helpful to know how many are attending. We expect a large attendance including many guests from other Clubs. We recently sent $3910 to RC Oradea (Romania); I wouldn't be shocked if we elected to offer a donation to RC Kyiv. Rotary colors are already blue and yellow, so if you have some blue and yellow, wear it.
 
All of this very meaningful international work is made possible by our fundraising efforts, and one of our most important ones is going on right now, and there is only one more week. Surprisingly, we are way behind last year's sales. Please share your Maple Syrup fundraising page with friends far and wide!
 
I've been so impressed with the student participation in the Red Ribbon program. Did you know that we received more than one hundred design ideas from students? Remarkable. Red Ribbon is the nation's largest and oldest substance misuse disorder in-school program. We are really doing a lot this year, please get involved! Here's our action plan.
 
The Raised Bed Garden project is looking for Biddeford-Saco families in need -- thanks to a District Grant, we can supply as many as 20 Raised Bed gardens, filled with rich soil, delivered together with seeds and starts. Who do you know that we can help?
 
Next week, on the 30th, we'll be back in person at Dizzy Birds! We'll have a great program featuring Dora Zuniga of RC Tampa; a new member induction; a guest prospective member, and some good food & fellowship. Plan on it!
