Club Business:
- John directed us all to our website, commending our webmaster extroardaire, Harold Burtzloff. Everything you could ever want to know about the Rotary Club of Marana can be found there.
- Continued discussion about our meeting structure and venue. We are aiming to begin a hybrid model the first week of May. The first 3 Tuesdays of a month will be hybrid, the 4th Tuesday will be remote, and any 5th Tuesday will be a social.
- Proposal/Request to participate in a Global Grant program for women in Uganda. The grant project will include IT training for the women to increase their literacy, their hire-ability, and their linkage with the outside world. Our Club voted to participate.
- There is another proposal to participate with a club in San Carlos to rehabilitate an assisted living home. The home was devastated by the most recent hurricane and requires significant rehabilitation. Additionally, the Rotary Club of San Carlos would like to expand the center’s capacity, possibly turning into a multi-year project. The Club is enthusiastic about participating and the proposal will be taken to the board.
