Feedback from our community partners
Franco Savoia
 
“It would be wonderful if all Rotary Clubs had the same application, review and reporting expectations and forms.” 
“Funders keep looking for new and innovative projects.  Where are we to get the dollars for ongoing core operations and ongoing programs?” 
“We appreciate and value funders who engage with us on an ongoing basis.”
 
This is what our community partners are expressing. How do we respond?

Watching Out for Each Other
Manon Mitchell
 
Before COVID kept us at home, we used to circulate get well or sympathy cards at club meetings in support of one another. Now that we have settled into a regular rhythm of in person meetings every couple of weeks, we have revived this tradition of watching out for each other and supporting our members. It’s just simple kindness. How do we know about people who need support or who should be congratulated on a special event?
 
We count on ALL OUR MEMBERS to inform us of anything that requires attention. If you know of someone who could use some well wishes, please contact Jo-Ann and she’ll ensure we circulate a card at the next club meeting.
 
Let’s watch out for each other and send well wishes.
Proudly Presenting Our Corporate Members
