Farmington Rotary recently enjoyed a visit from our District Governor Ed Marek. We hosted the zoom meeting and invited our friends from the Rosemount Rotary to join us too! Ed had a great speech prepared, with updates on how the pandemic has affected Rotary International - all meetings are being held virtually and travel is banned until at least March 31, 2021.
Ed also talked about membership, saying that the key to new membership and retention is to be revolutionary AND evolutionary.
He talked about what our gifts to the Foundation support: clean water projects, maternal health, basic education, economic development, environmental protections, peace & conflict resolutions... that's a WHOLE LOTTA GOOD going out into the world!
We talked about a bunch of other stuff, too, but the idea I liked best was partnering with Rosemount Rotary more often on projects that benefit both of our communities. Thanks for joining us last week, everyone!
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.
Thanks to Nate, Paige, Linda, Wendy and her entire family (including Cartwheel Girl!), and Barb for cleanaing up a bit of Pilot Knob. The weather was perfect!
