Welcome to our Club!

Please make a note and check your email > On the 20th of August District Governor Greg Giusiana, and Assistant Governor AG Sweeney will make an official visit to our club.

The purpose of the visit is to allow the District Governor to communicate directly with all Rotarians in our club. Together we will listen to the Club Leadership and gain a better understanding of our club. As president, I’ll talk about budget, club goals, club membership, and prior year’s financial statement. Also, I’ll present the new Paul Harris Fellows and induct the new members virtually.

All the service chairs are required to give a five-minute presentation on their projects. Please do prepare for it and your presence is mandatory. The treasurer needs to present a monthly financial report. DG & AG will be here for one hour. AG Sweeney will introduce our district governor Greg Giusiana. Please arrive early, plan to stay until after the DG leaves, and stand when the District Governor is introduced to welcome DG and his spouse. Please email me if you have any questions. Sometimes I do not reply the very same day. Please bear with me. Thanks for your cooperation and patience. E-meet you all on Thursday (20th, September) at 12 sharp. We’ll be using the same Zoom link.

TRF UPDATE

I (President Arpita Sikka) would like to congratulate to all the Rotarians who contributed to TRF! The reason I am mentioning this now is that this year, we have adopted a new strategy at my recommendation so that we all can donate to TRF. We all have been paying eight and a half percent from our dues during these unprecedented pandemic times. If everybody pays their dues, our contribution will be 100%. So far, our club is the highest contributor (68%) in the district if you notice the District TRF Report. My proposal has been successful, except for the club members who have not yet paid dues. Donate to TRF.

Remembering the September 11th terrorist attacks on the 19th anniversary of the tragedy

September is basic education and literacy month.

More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population.

Rotary's goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.

We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults.

Thanks for being “OUR” Heroes/Sheroes!

We express our sincere gratitude towards all the firefighters, men, and women, who are putting their lives on the line. We continue to pray for the safety of all the firefighters. To all those working so diligently, your dedication and valiant efforts will never be forgotten.
