ALL CLUB 11 ROTARY EVENTS AND MEETINGS REMAIN CANCELLED FOR NOW. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF NOTICE FOR WHEN WE WILL RESUME ACTIVITIES

These are some of the things President Bob had listed last week. All still pertain. Please use common sense when going out and keep others in mind.

· WASH YOUR HANDS!!

·  MASKS !!

·  SELF QUARANTINE !!

· SANITIZER!!

·  NEW NORMAL !!

· STAY-AT-HOME ORDER !!

New Business

We are all dealing with an unprecedented situation with the COVID-19 situation. Hopefully we will get through this in short order and be able to get back to our “normal” lives again. When we get through this, hopefully we will realize how important our FREEDOM is and we can work harder on treating each other kindly every day.

For those that haven’t heard President Bob has been in the hospital since last week. He went in on Thursday to have by-pass surgery for some issues that have been lingering. The surgery seemed to go fine and the next day he was off the ventilator and sitting in a chair. Recently however he had a change in his status and is back on the medical equipment. Let’s all say a prayer for him and his family for a full recovery.

Our Throwback Thursdays seem to be catching momentum. We had a great video on Dr. Beth Russell last week. If you haven’t seen it make sure to check it out on various social media sites. Thanks again to Doug Russell and Mike Mosella for the productions. Look for Past President Bob Kocher as the feature this week. Always entertaining.

Zoom seems to have caught on? I had my 1st Zoom meeting last week and thought it worked very well. We have been using it for Board Meetings and I have heard a committee or two have also used it. The Board has decided to hold off on having video meetings at this time but you never know.

Next MAC meeting – We are hoping to have a meeting sometime in May? Don’t know when and how these will work at this time. As soon as the MAC has given us work that they can re-open we will let everyone know the new Rotary schedule. I know I miss our meetings and look forward to the fellowship thru Rotary soon.

Committee Meetings – If you are on a committee, please check with your chair to see if there is anything new that needs sharing and see if you can help in any way. Next week I will try to update everyone with information from some of the committees, so stay tuned.

Billings – We have billed everyone for the April 1st billing but have credited back your meal cost for the 2 meetings not held in March. The next scheduled billing will be July 1st. We will handle this the same way with a credit for any missed meeting in the second quarter. Please let Joan know if you have not received your April billing.

 “Call a Rotarian” – President Bob kicked off this program on April 7th. Let’s see if we can keep this going in support of Bob. I think this is a good gesture and will help keep us connected. And you will feel good just to make a “personal” connection.

Finally, if you have
questions, concerns, or ideas regarding Club 11 and the “Stay-at-Home” orders,
feel free to share.
