We are Rotarians and must remain optimistic, and continue to seek opportunities to engage members, grow Rotary membership, fundraise and perform service projects.

 

Rotary clubs who are able to embrace change and enthusiastically support opportunities will come out stronger than before.

 

Linda excited to see so many clubs start hybrid meetings.  Virtual meetings will not go away but just make it easier for people to attend meetings in the district especially those in the southern part of the district.  Some districts have seen clubs close due to coronavirus but so far none have closed in District 7120.  The virus has created new ideas like virtual fundraising.  The district is looking into a free way to create funds online and will roll it out once we know more.  Linda has started a Public Image Committee and is looking for clubs to engage and learn about social media opportunities like Facebook live.  All district training this year will be virtual (e.g., President-Elect Training, District Seminar).  The District Conference is May 8th weekend in Corning.  Everything being done to be socially distant and much is offered virtual.  Watch for new 7120 District projects in the area of Diversity and Environment.
