Annual Easter Egg Hunt (Drive-Thru Edition) 2021-03-08 05:00:00Z 0

Meetings suspended until Jan. 1 due to Covid-19

Fellow Rotarians,
 
With everything going on right now in reference to Covid-19, and directives coming from health officials and the government, the decision has been made to suspend all in-person meetings from now until after January 1. After January 1, we will re-evaluate the conditions, and make another decision at that time.   This includes cancelling our meeting on Tuesday, November 17.  
 
This suspension also unfortunately includes cancelling the Christmas Tree Lighting for this year.  
 
However, the community Thanksgiving Meal will still take place.  Keith will be in touch with those of you that signed up to work a shift in the upcoming days.
 
We thank you for your understanding and patience as we all figure out how to move forward together. 
 
In service,

Mike Skinner, President

Keith May, Secretary

Thanks to club member Kevin O'Neill for organizing this week's program.

It is not limited to just physical injury; Post Tra...umatic Stress Disorder, also known as PTSD is another concern they help with. They also help Veterans with applications and submitting the forms to the VA, which can help Veterans receive their allowable benefits.

Farming Hope in El Salvador

Posted by Anna Koenig
¡Hola a todos!
 
Hello to everyone from Farming Hope. 
 
And a big thank you. 
 
Your club, and you as individual members, more than anyone else, have made our biggest project yet possible. 
 
In sunny El Salvador, short weeks ago, two acres went up for sale next to our farm for homeless individuals. 
 
I barely had to ask and your club, quite quickly, acted to make that purchase. I am personally so grateful for the chance to speak to your club, and now work together to double a working solution, and be part of your wishes and work for a better world.
 
Your investment protects and grows a future for many hungry and homeless individuals, for generations. Thanks to you, our farm will be more than double in size, now over three acres, allowing us to grow twice as much corn, beans, vegetables to eat at the Hope House homeless shelter (feeding 50+ daily) and twice the work spots for homeless individuals to rebuild their lives on the farm. 
 
This pilot farm is a model for farms in Wisconsin, Illinois, and now California (and someday, Ohio!). The lessons from El Salvador are an investment in better, more sustainable charity, the kind Rotary promotes, the kind our communities need. 
Thank you immensely for investing in your brothers and sisters in El Salvador, and in a project that can grow to inspire sustainable farming projects worldwide. 
 
A special note: I want to invite you to see the fruits of your loving investment: winter harvest season is October-December, and I'd love you to visit next year to see the newly improved farm and volunteer side-by-side with the Hope Farmers. 
 
Thanks - and good luck in all your endeavors. God Bless. 
 
Sincerely,
Jamie Stark and the Farming Hope familia
