President’s ramblings for December 1

Program chair Dave Myers kicked off the month with a program from Rotary International Foundation describing how our donations impact the world as well as locally. Since we did not organize an “Every Rotarian, Every Year” campaign we are counting on members to make their contributions individually. An opportunity is available to give during our Holiday online gala during the “Happy Bucks” segment. Members will be able to donate to Polio Plus as they commemorate something positive in their life. While we have set a $5 minimum, here is a challenge to “dig deep” to support this worthy cause that has been Rotary’s signature project for decades. This week I’m excited to hear from Dr Rita Colwell, former director National Science Foundation to hear her take on the Covid pandemic.
