I wanted to thank you, Rotarians of D7780, for all you have done and continue to do for our communities as we tirelessly work to assist ME & NH efforts to reduce rates of Covid-19 infections/spread.
You might be asking, Peggy, how are we doing this? Well, there are soooo many ways :
Like many other Rotary Districts, D7780 virtually celebrated World Understanding and Peace on February 23, 2021, the Rotary's 116th birthday.
As a humanitarian organization, peace is a cornerstone of Rotary’s Mission. Rotarians believe when people work to create peace in their communities, that change can have global effects. "As “People of Action”, Rotarians Support Peace Fellowships & Scholarships; address Poverty, Discrimination, Ethnic Tension, Lack of Access to Education; and address the Unequal Distribution of Resources”.
The 2022 Rotary Global Peace Fellowship application is now available, and District 7780 needs your help finding the next cohort of global peace and development leaders.
Biddeford – Donald Pilon, President of the Biddeford and Saco Rotary Club, (BSRC) officially signed a twinning agreement with the Cosmopolitan Rotary Club in Amman Jordan. The two Rotary groups met via Zoom to officially join as sister clubs. This is the second twinning outreach of this sort for the Biddeford and Saco Rotary Club. The other sister club is the Rotary Club of Bideford, England. “It’s an honor for us to connect with such a talented group in Amman,” noted Pilon. “We have a great deal we can learn from one another.”
International Cafés have proved to be a successful way of getting the word out about district projects that Clubs and individual Rotarians are working with or sponsoring. In this age of Zoom and virtual meetings, it is an opportunity to hear from folks from around the country and the world about projects and opportunities for all of us.
Last month I asked the clubs to share how they are working around COVID – any changes they have made. I got one reply from Kathi Perkins from the Rotary Club of Westbrook-Gorham.
THANK YOU, Kathi!
