Meet President JEAN (and Dunkin)
Introducing incoming Club President Jean Hamilton: Jean has been a Rotarian for six years and is a Master Gardener. She recently decided to move into her home in Arizona from Oregon and is working with the club there to build support for our club projects. She used to house Rotary exchange students for a weekend when they met in Newport OR and really enjoyed watching them interact. She is very passionate about giving back and is looking to help build a stronger Club.

This is the State of Jefferson Rotary eClub podcast, a living audio archive of our members, their accomplishments and the stories they have to tell.
Every week we will post a new story on the website. This is not your standard interview. This is your story.
What if I don’t have a story?
Your story can be anything. Something that happened, something you experienced, an accomplishment, something or someone who inspired you. It could be from your travels, a vacation, a family event, a family story. It could be a story you heard or read that means something special to you. Anything at all. Its easy, just a conversation.
So pick a time and date below and lets get started.

July is New Leadership Month
Ever wonder why 1 July is the beginning of the Rotary year? Initially, our conventions played a key role in determining the start date of our fiscal and administrative year.
Rotary’s first fiscal year began the day after the first convention ended, on 18 August 1910. The 1911-12 fiscal year also related to the convention, beginning with the first day of the 1911 convention on 21 August.

is our international service project supporting education and literacy of disenfranchised Mayan girls in the remote Western highlands of Guatemala. In collaboration with Adopt-A-Village in Guatemala, the project helps fund scholarships and literacy outreach programs.
Join us in ACTION - changing lives, one girl at a time!

The Navajo Nation is about the size of West Virginia. It covers parts of New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. And, there are over 15,000 people living there who have no electricity.
Now, thanks to volunteers from Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona, 17 more families have light. This was the outcome of three days of intense effort by 10 people in Rotary Service.
The group met in Gallup, New Mexico for the drive to Arizona.
The October 2019, installation was based in White Cone, AZ and reached out into remote parts of surrounding chapters. It was a challenge to get to these residences and many offered their own challenges in terms of how and where to place the solar panels and do so in a secure, efficient, and safe manner.
Roger Allen and Molly McCallum joined us representing our club and brought along Molly’s brother Tom and partner Kathy. Of course, Joe Williams was present along with Nancy Dosdall from the Durango Daybreak Rotary Club. During the installation, Joe made an onsite live video presentation to his District Conference and extolled to the hands on nature of our eClub as an active partner in this project.
While on site, a teacher from the Noble & Greenough School visited for an afternoon. This is an old and established prep school in the Boston area. They will be bringing out about ten students to participate in our installations and wanted to visit ahead of time to see what we do. This will actually be the third visit by representatives of this school to one of our installations.
I would like to offer my appreciation and gratitude to Sam Kent and his Rotary Club of The Caldwells, NJ for their support. The club donated $1,050 and Sam personally matched that gift. Thanks also to Roger Allen for his gift of $100.00. These gifts ensure that these efforts will continue.
I am looking forward to planning for future installations as we light the dark for these people in need.
