Our board will review this decision in a few weeks. During this time we encourage everyone to do what is needed to stay safe. but , also ask that you reach out to any family and friends, especially those who are elderly, who may require assistance and do what we can to help each other through this unprecedented time. Don't forget safety for yourself first , care for others when appropriate and safe. Rotary...still connects our world and community.
