Rotary International advises us not to hold in-person meetings for the rest of 2021. We do not know when we will be able to meet in person again however it seems we will be meeting virtually only for some time. It is for this reason that our board is taking active measures to make our weekly meetings more engaging; we want you to tune-in and enjoy our weekly virtual meetings. Compared to our pre-covid attendance, the attendance at our virtual meetings is way down. Beginning next week, March 5, 2021, our meetings will include a few new items on the agenda which we hope will entice more of you to tune in. We welcome your input on how we can make our weekly virtual meetings more engaging. Until then, we have developed this new agenda for our weekly virtual meetings (the times are estimates only and are subject to change each week):

 

 

12:00 - 12:15  General chat, Welcome, Chairperson begins meeting
