President's Message
A picture is worth a thousand words
As President and President Elect, Gordon & I worked closely this past year. The passing of the pin is one of those special moments, filled with mixed emotions of sadness and excitement. Thank you, Past President Gordon, for an outstanding year. Following so many great leaders, I am honored to serve as your 70th President.

Volunteers Needed
HomeStretch Learning Lab
The Rotary Learning Lab is well underway. The container was hoisted into place and the interior has been framed. We are looking for volunteers to help hang insulation on the interior and finish up some skirting around the exterior of the container. If you are interested in helping with this, please reach out to Alicia Hughes. In another week of so we will have the drywall up and will be ready for paint. If you would like to help paint, reach out to Karen Schwank.
COVID-19 Relief Around The World
Helping Those In Need
While all of us have been impacted by COVID-19, we are relatively fortunate. For parts of the world that were already impoverished, the crisis has made a bad situation that much worse. Our member, Dazia Fumbah is from an area in Libera that struggles on a good day and he is dedicated to helping people in his home country through Our Seeds Tomorrow. Dazia ia raising money to put food on the tables in Liberia. If you are so inclined he would appreciate a donation.
