We certainly were tested during the first half of 2020 and our test results were A+. Together we made online meetings educational, attracting others with our The New Normal Series, raised money for the local Covid Relief Fund through our Rotary Ultimate Food Fight (RUFF), worked as a team through the hurdles finding imaginative solutions, and had fun pondering. Thank you for all you accomplished during 2020.

 

What a challenging time! But this Club has a talent for flexibility, creativity, patience, and humor and service. During my tenure as President, we went from  videoconferencing to a hybrid meeting and back to videoconferencing. Maldaners continued to provide great meals in person and added curbside pickups. We learn each month about Rotary's (now) Seven Areas of Focus. We served our community and world in so many ways. We welcomed new members, and sadly said goodbye to dear friends. And we look forward to our New Normal in 2021. Thank you, Rotarians, for your service. We shall continue to serve together!

 

Please join us for our first club meeting of the New Year on January 4. It will be virtual and engaging. The link for the meeting is provided below.

Did you know that the RI Foundation is one of the top-rated Foundations in the world? Most have met some of our Inbound and Outbound Exchange students.  Would you like to know how this amazing program works? And what is RYLA and who participates in it?  What about Rotaract and Interact? How do they fit into Rotary? New members in 2019 and 2020 are encouraged to attend the Gold Session of the New Member Orientation Program of the joint clubs of Springfield. This session provides valuable information on two gems of Rotary, the Rotary International Foundation and the wonderful Youth Programs Rotary offers.

 

This Orientation program was designed to help newer Rotarians learn about these important things. The more you learn about Rotary, the more impressive it is! January 14 at 7 pm via video! Save the Date!
