Thank you to Dr. Laura Vanderberg for a festive St. Patrick's Day Trivia Presentation

Dr. Laura Vanderberg's  trivia included fun facts like: Patrick's Day celebrates the life of Saint Patrick—the patron saint of Ireland. This influential missionary has been credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland and for chasing all of the snakes out of Ireland.

St. Patrick's Day takes place on March 17 each year because his death is believed to have been on March 17, 461. He was actually born in Britain.

Why are green shamrocks introduced around St. Patrick’s Day? St. Patrick was said to have used the three-leaf clover to demonstrate the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) to potential converts.

Which U.S. city turns the river that runs through it green? CHICAGO - which at one time had America's fourth largest Irish population, after New York, Philadelphia and Boston.

New Pay-As-You-Go Breakfast Plan

Effective with our April meetings, SunUpians will have a new Pay-As-You-Go breakfast option. 

Corporate members and anyone who would like to continue the quarterly breakfast plan (no change from how breakfasts have been billed previously) can email Laura laura@newtonservicesconsulting.com by March 27th to maintain their enrollment in the current plan. 

Everyone who does not wish to continue with the old plan will have the option to register yes or no for breakfast each meeting.

Those not eating every meal at club meetings will experience a significant reduction in their quarterly bills!

Wamatochik Cabin Winterization

The winterizing of Cabin 12 at Camp Wamatochick so it can be used year-around is complete! 

World Water Day, held on March 22nd every year since 1993, focuses on the importance of fresh water.

On 22 March, Rotary will join the global celebration of World Water Day and its annual theme of “Groundwater: Making the Invisible Visible.”  Tens of thousands of people will raise the visibility of how this vital resource must be protected from pollution and over extraction, managed sustainably, and reflected in sustainable development policymaking. But what does this mean to Rotary?

Why should Rotary members care about groundwater? 

And what can Rotarians and Rotaractors do about groundwater through their service and projects?

World Water Day celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water. It is about taking action to tackle the global water crisis. A core focus of World Water Day is to support the achievement of UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 6: Water and Sanitation for all by 2030.

“Rotary Week of Service.” Our efforts to provide assistance continue throughout the year, and we invite you to join us as we conduct community service projects throughout our communities, our state and the world!
