MEETINGS on the ZOOM!!
It was a fabulous meeting on June 23!! We found out a little more about a new club project - helping Meals on Wheels deliver meals to shut ins in Lake Wildwood. There are 14 folks who have difficulty getting out of the house and are currently receiving weekly meals from Gold Country Senior Services. We'd like to increase the number of weekly meals with more volunteers and a space to hold frozen meals. More to come...
Also a fabulous presentation by Rotactor Laura from The Netherlands on a Rotary project in Gambia and their automobile adventure from The Netherlands to Gambia to deliver supplies to childcare and medical centers...It was fun to have her join us in real time from The Netherlands...
