Lend a Helping Hand - January 2020
Greetings and Happy New Year!!
 
I hope everyone enjoyed a great Holiday Season.  We are now halfway through the Rotary year and I feel like we have not accomplished much.  Yet we have accomplished so much.  To say that 2020 was a typical year is far from accurate.    So now it is time to get back to work.  We must continue with our focus on engaging our current Rotary members with “impactful projects” and also adding new members who are a good fit for our club.  At the same time, we must strive to meet and exceed our goals for the Rotary Foundation. 

January is . . .

Greetings from the Adoption Awareness Project. 
I’ve been holding off making any noise fir the past weeks because…….  Still no change, but I thought I could update on some new data that has unfolded these past few months. 
 
Our programs are on hold but children are still having to be taken from parents.  There is no virus stopping that.   I have been in touch with CPS to discuss stepping up what we do—make some changes to what we have done to become additionally involved.  That was met with a “not necessary.”
