Welcome to this week’s meeting of the eClub of the State of Jefferson. I am Bob Gibson.
Again, this is Foundation Month. Please consider being a Sustaining Member by supporting The Rotary Foundation with a $100 contribution each year. Our contributions put us shoulder to shoulder with those volunteers in the field providing the hands-on work. I am proud of The Rotary Foundation, and proud to be a Rotarian.
As you are aware, Past President Jean, Past President Jackie, President Elect DeVere, and I are sharing the duties this year. While not routine, it is a great example of how Rotary can adapt to changes and challenges.
If you have any questions or comments, I am available. My e-mail address is: bob@bluewaterphoto.net.

Voices of Rotary -- Interact Virtual Tutoring Program Podcast
By Daniel Smith
Picture this; a student is trying to study at the kitchen table at home – Mom’s making dinner, rattling pots and pans, and baby brother is screaming because his diaper needs changed. Mayhem. Not a good environment for learning. Some students were barely scraping by. In comes the tutor, who not only saves the day academically, but also forms a friendship and bond with the student.
This is the story of how one District 5110 Interact club took the challenges of the pandemic and created a program that is being duplicated in the U.S. and Canada. Christine Waugh, Past President of the Eugene Southtowne Rotary Club, meets with the tutors, students and parents to find out how they built such a successful program. The great thing about Voices of Rotary storytelling is you don’t need anything special. No secret handshake, high tech devices or private registration. Click on the link, put your feet up, close your eyes and listen at https://voicesofrotary.org/.
But if you want to take the story with you and listen anywhere, that’s where podcasting comes in. We are adding new channels everyday so let us know your favorite and we will add it. Contact us at team@voicesofrotary.org
Almeda Fire - Rising From the Ashes
By Dan Smith
September 8, 2020, was a challenging time for Southern Oregon. Like every place else, we were in the middle of a pandemic and and on top of that, a drought. That Tuesday after Labor Day, the first day of school for many of the school districts in Southern Oregon.
It all began with record winds whipping down the Valley from south to north. Join Michelle Corradetti and Alan Harper as they document the "Almeda Fire - Rising From the Ashes."
