Since the social distancing guideline prevents our normal fellowship, today will be our second "online" fellowship. So, if you would like to respond to this bulletin or next week's email with any news or acts of service you want to share, I will publish them in the bulletin each week. Please let me know by 10 am each Wednesday. The picture above was sent by Dick Huston. Our Savior’s has converted one little library to a food source to help those in need. I have had another "Groundhog Day" week. Each day seems like a repeat of the one before. We have been taking walks, doing home projects, reading books and enjoying great meals. I hope you are all doing well my friends and I look forward to our time together again. Murray From Dick Huston: The Minneapolis Sunday Star Tribune had a big article on the polio epidemic in Minnesota in 1946. As now theaters, pools and even the Minnesota State fair was shut down. There were 226 deaths - mostly children. We need to keep up the effort to eradicate this disease. From Chuck Thiele: Thanks for doing this Murray! At the Chamber, all of us but Nort are working from home. We are working hard to ensure our members are as well informed as they can be through this difficult time. We are updating our CoVid-19 resource page on a daily basis.https://www.faribaultmn.org/covid-19-resources/ I miss you guys and Can’t wait to see you all in person soon! One more thing for Dr. Huston and Dr. Hanson, guaranteed I won the hooded sweatshirt contest every day the last couple weeks!  This is an article from Patrick Mader. He was supposed to speak to our club today. Good morning, Chuck. Thought it best to contact you to determine whether the Faribault Rotary Club is planning to attempt to meet through a group video call and still interested in the program about Minnesota athletes who competed in the Olympics or World Championships. I am not technically gifted, but I have had some meetings through Zoom. A person in Faribault alerted me that an article appeared in the Daily News, so interest may be whetted a bit. https://www.southernminn.com/northfield_news/sports/article_bbe4f753-da1e-5cd7-bb88-71c2506f1ee9.html (Note: we do not have any plans at the moment for a Zoom meeting but there has been some discussion.) From Brian Daniels: First I have to say, I sure miss the group at Rotary! I’ve seen some amazing things being done here in the Faribault area. Liz and I have personally received offers from our neighbors to bring us groceries or medicine so we wouldn't have to leave our house. I talked to a local business that has seen their revenue go down because of the virus, and then another business offer to give them $10,000 in advance for services.I talked to a local restaurant that has seen huge orders for pick up. One order was $200 so the customer could buy everyone lunch.Even know this covid thing is horrible I see great things! Thanks again for your email. God bless and stay healthy, wealthy and wise. |
