Welcome to this week’s meeting of the eClub of the State of Jefferson.
I am Bob Gibson, President of the Rotary eClub of State of Jefferson. Welcome to this week’s meeting. I hope this finds you well.
Your Board discussed important topics at last week’s meeting. We reviewed and discussed the proposed changes to our By-Laws. Rotarian Carol Fellows and PDG John Cox have worked on developing this proposal. You will receive an email with this document attached. It will be a subject of discussion at our Zoom Membership Meeting on Saturday, November 12 at 9:00am Pacific Time. If you have questions or comments on the proposed By-Laws, this will be a great time to bring them forward.
As I mentioned above, we will be having another Zoom General Membership Meeting at 9:00 on Saturday, November 12. We believe getting together in these virtual meetings is valuable for a number of reasons. It gives the Club leadership an opportunity to hear comments and concernes about our Club. It is a perfect opportunity to bring ideas and suggestions forward. Rotary was founded to respond to a need for fellowship. While this can be challenging in an e-Club, the virtual meetings can bring us closer.
The No Borders Rotaract Club is participating in a wonderful and innovative fundraiser. Zoe Hershenson provided this information. “There are three pages with different jack-o-lanterns, and the idea is for each person to choose which carving they like the most and donate on that pumpkins page. Every $10 counts as one vote. The pumpkin with the most votes wins.”
“The pumpkins were grown for the Pumpkins 4 Polio Campaign in the South Island of New Zealand (Rotary District 9980). The Rotary eClub of WASH then decided to take four of the pumpkins and, with the help of the Dunedin Rotaract Club and No Borders, carve them into jack-o-lanterns for this fundraiser. All of the money donated goes to the Rotary Foundation, specifically for WASH projects/programs.” Zoe provides this link:

This Rotaract Club is truly amazing. Their passion and energy is extraordinary.
Thank you for your interest in our Club and your commitment to “Service above Self.”
Enjoy the meeting.
