Have water and sanitation projects captured your interest and you would like to donate to them on a recurring basis?

Starting in mid-October, you can target specific areas of focus funds to donate to through The Rotary Foundation's Annual Programs Fund -- and how you'd like to give to them. | | Posted by Danielle Knowles Are you looking for new ideas on ways to get involved with Rotary? If so, there are several webinars available through Rotary International that may spark some thoughts for you. You can check them out here! There are several coming up, including one tomorrow at 11am central time on Rotary and social media. | | Posted by Danielle Knowles A recent article on the Rotary International website says that the public is aware of us but unsure about what we do. | | Posted by Danielle Knowles June was Rotary Fellowships Month! Fellowships bring Rotarians, their spouses, and Rotaractors together to share common interests, explore new opportunities to serve, enhance the Rotary experience through fun activities, and further vocational development through friendship. They are celebrated through Rotary Fellowships Month.

Attached to the letter were some photos, including one with a sign with our club name on it!
