Rotary 5110 in Action eNews 05-20-2020

Attend the Club Training Assembly in the comfort of your home in your favorite chair with choice of beverage in hand. Your 5110 leadership has set up a series of sessions to learn how you can maximize your Rotary effectiveness in nearly every area of service Rotary touches…and you can pick and choose the sessions you wish to take….registration is completely free. Learn more details and how to register.

First of all, thanks to all who have agreed to serve District 5110 as a District Committee Chair, Officer, or Representative for your support and leadership for our 66 Clubs and 3,300+ Rotarians.

There are currently a few other open District positions listed at RI that I have not filled. They include: Alumni Chair, Community Service Chair, Endowment and Major Gifts Sub-Committee Chair, and the District Vocational Training Team Sub-Committee Chair. Should you have Rotary Club Members that you think that would enjoy and be willing to serve in these positions, please let me know.

This week’s BUSINESS OF THE WEEK RECOGNITION goes to Gwen DeBernardi and her buisness, Promotional Products Northwest. Gwen will help you put your event or business logo on just about anything: shirts, hats, cups, pens, notepads, banners, name badges… anything.

Gwen is a dedicated leader in the Bend – Mt. Bachelor Rotary Club. She’s also the Central Oregon Assistant Governor. Gwen is eager to promote her business to other Rotarians through the B2B Directory by purchasing a Gold subscription costing only $45 for a full year. Check out Promotional Products Northwest at https://5110b2b.org/business-listing/promotional-products-northwest/ and let Gwen know when your business or Rotary Club is wanting help with its marketing and promotions! Read more about Gwen.

While the current national emergency caused by the CoVid19 pandemic requires physical distancing, Rotarians can still remain socially connected to other district Rotarians. The Rotary E-Club of the State of Jefferson invites all Rotarians to make up virtually: the club posts a complete meeting each Thursday and the club library contains hundreds of programs on a wide variety of informational and entertaining topics. Use the make-up form to inform your club secretaries of your attendance. Any Rotarian can register on the Club website to receive an email notification with a link to weekly meetings – without obligation. Click here for a link to their website and e-meetings.

If your club has not transitioned to an online platform during the quarantine the Eugene Metropolitan Rotary Club would like to invite you to join us every Tuesday evening at 6pm for fellowship and a different guest speaker every week.

Sheltering in place has a silver lining! We are hosting guest speakers we wouldn’t normally be able to host in downtown Eugene. Every week we have been joined by guests and speakers from California to Canada and we would love for you to join us too! If you’d like to join your fellow Rotarians, please email heather.m.edwards@gmail.com with your name and your club name if you would like to receive the Zoom invitation.
