As we enter a new year and begin the second half of the 2020-2021 Rotary year, I would like to wish you and your families good health, peace and prosperity. I hope your clubs are doing as good as possible during these difficult times. We certainly have a lot going on in D7210!
Let me start by welcoming the members of our newest club in the District- the Passport Club which will have their first meeting on February 6th. Many thanks for the leadership of President Samantha Alvarenga and District Governor Nominee Larry Palant for their persistence and determination in launching our first club since September 2018, when we chartered the Southeast Club.
The Million Mask Challenge Tour- Take 2 was a huge success as 37 out of our 56 clubs picked up 173,000 surgical, childrens and KN95 masks on January 14th at the Renegades Stadium in Dutchess County. Many thanks to Region 5 AG and Public Image Chair Jacob Lerner, Greater Newburgh Rotary President Andrew Ciccone, Region 4 AG Vicki Kessler and Region 7 AG and District Secretary Carrie Hernandez for their hard work organizing that event in about 2 weeks! I would like all clubs who are distributing the masks in their community to have a community event if you can, and track who you are giving the masks to, and PLEASE take photos/videos and post them on your FB page and website and forward them to Carrie Hernandez for the District FB and website.
