DG Tony's November Message
My Dear Rotary Friends,
 
As we enter into the 5th month of this new Rotary year, I would like to wish everyone a safe and healthy upcoming holiday season. We are all doing our best to conduct our lives and Rotary service as usual, despite the challenges we have with the pandemic. Thanks to all of you who are not only existing, but thriving in this climate. Rotarians rise and don't shrink from challenges!
 
Each month Rotary International has a theme for the month and we just finished an amazing community service month with our District Service day focused on collecting warm coats for those in need in our communities. Conservative estimates indicate that over 4,000 coats were collected by about 25 clubs. Thanks to Service Chair Judy Siegel for coordinating efforts and thank all those clubs for those extraordinary efforts!
