Huntly Rotary 2020
As we are all aware events have certainly escalated rapidly in the last 10 days and our Rotary organisation at District, Zone and International level has been drastically affected.
All Rotary Club meetings have been cancelled till June and this has included District and International events.
The health and wellbeing of our people is always of the highest importance. We are not to ignore the recommendations and guidelines that are issued by our government. The Covid19 Pandemic is taking us all into unchartered waters.
If you are not feeling well – do something about it – don’t just hope that whatever it is will go away.
We are the Family of Rotary. We need to look after each other. Whilst we might not be meeting physically as a club – we can still have fellowship with each other, by text, phone, email or Facebook etc.
For years, Angalia Bianca had slept in abandoned buildings throughout Chicago. She stole. She did drugs. She spent time in and out of jail for forgery, theft, trespassing, and possession of narcotics. But after she landed in prison for the seventh time, something changed -- Bianca knew she wanted a better life. She just didn’t know how to make it happen.
Throughout India and around the world, Rotary clubs are celebrating a major milestone: India has gone three years without a new case of polio. The last reported case was a two-year-old girl in West Bengal on 13 January 2011. To mark this historic triumph, Rotary clubs illuminated landmarks and iconic structures throughout the country with four simple but powerful words, "India is polio free."
What is it like taking a large team to Africa? It has probably been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. In mid February, I began leading Rotary members from all over the East Coast of the United States through Ghana. I’ve tried to give the team a warm Ghanaian welcome like I’ve received on my earlier trips. A large trip is a real blessing because each person sees Ghana and our work in a different way.
