We held out first “official” Rotary meeting via Zoom this week. Thank you to those who joined us! Our speaker was District Governor Nominee Bob Hobaugh. Bob shared with us about the Rotary International Conference held last year in Hamburg, Germany. Bob is also our District Annual Fund Chair and a member of the WASHRAG Rotary Action Group, which focuses on water and sanitation issues. He spoke about global grants and the communication and research that goes into finding a good partner and ensuring the project has lasting impact. Other takeaways from convention breakouts were combining the best traditions with new ideas- a message for Rotary Clubs and also for the City of Hamburg which had to be largely rebuilt after WWII. Bob shared many interesting photos with us during his presentation. Thank you Bob for speaking with our Club!

We also had our first Zoom happy hour! We had a great turnout for this and it was great seeing so many faces and hearing about how you’re adjusting to quarantine life
