The Rotary Club of Garrettsville-Hiram met on Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Day, Monday, January 16, at Cal’s II, Sky Plaza, Garrettsville, to conduct the following business :
Discussions with the Mantua-Shalersville Rotary about participating in joint activities and/or programs. Both acknowledge concern over identity, membership recruitment, possibility of revamping procedures. Suggestions were presented on various possibilities for programs and projects to be entered into jointly, including international students, exchange students and families, the Arsenal. Sheer size needed for some options must be considered. There are concerns about being over-extended and the need for long-range planning and co-operation. An agenda of goals—general and specific—is needed before commitment to any particular course of action. Encouragement of entrepreneurs came up as an emphasis to be pursued.
A flyer on the District 6630 Foundation Gala, to be held March 3 at Hale Farm and Village, with an 1850’s theme was distributed. Reservations are open until February 20.
Delores McCumbers will be going to India as part of the Rotary International campaign against polio and health challenges worldwide. The itinerary takes her through Boston, to Dubai and to Mumbai, from clinics in desperate locations to the Taj Mahal. Steve Zabor of the Mantua-Shalersville Rotary Club will be along for the ride…and the experience.
Ongoing projects were discussed—the “way-finding” signs for the Headwaters Trail, the installation of the Free Library at Garfield Plaza, commitment to helping fund signs recognizing seniors at Garfield High School, items going to the District 6630 newsletter; it’s a busy club, with a focus on community.
