Keep members engaged through virtual meeting platforms.

These are certainly interesting times we live in. None of us could have foreseen these extraordinary circumstances brought on by the pandemic of COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. Rotary clubs everywhere are wrestling with the question, How do we maintain membership engagement during the pandemic?

Well, this is Rotary and I am sure that these challenges will bring out our considerable strengths – ingenuity, decisiveness, flexibility, and integrity.

Here in Zone 34 (Georgia, Florida, USA and Caribbean), our Rotary Coordinator team has put together a guide to assist clubs in their efforts to maintain membership engagement during these difficult times. The suggestions are not exhaustive, and many clubs will surely come up with new ideas as their ingenuity and adaptability finds new and innovative ways to maintain our fellowship. But we wanted to offer this guide to all clubs as they explore online meetings and other adaptive solutions.

One of our Rotary e-clubs, the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, is generously offering to set up online meetings for clubs in our zone at no charge. We suggest you check with e-clubs in your area for help and advice on structuring online meetings.

Download our Coronavirus Response Guide. You can also e-mail me for further ideas.

A little Help goes a long way

 
Every time we have a question or an issue with ZOOM, or You Tube or other detail Club business we realize, how much we miss our E-club President Peter Denooy, who passed away in January from complications of Pancreatic Cancer surgery.

But who are we to sulk; His widow Ileana, misses him more that we could have ever imagined. She is struggling in many ways.
In order to manage financially, she will need to sell her furniture and move to a smaller place. As Rotarians we can help her.
When we set up a Go Fund Me page we had hoped to reach our goal of $10,000.00 today are just one-third of the way.

Please help us reach our goal and support Ileana. Every dollar helps.
