Survey says...
Thank you for the overwhelming and quick response to the survey issued by Membership Chair Paul Keely and President Dennis Greenhouse on when to resume a somewhat normal return to in-person meetings. Of the 38 responses, 9 said return now; 4 said alternate between Zoom and in-person meetings; 14 said wait until Delaware is in phase 3; 0 want to remain on Zoom; and 11 suggested a combination of in-person and virtual meeting at the same time.
After carefully considering all options and survey results, and a discussion with Bill Sullivan at the Courtyard, it was decided that we will wait until Delaware is well into phase 3 and review again after that.
So we will keep on Zooming until further notice.
Happy/Crappy Dollars? We are still accepting them weekly, but you need to keep track of them and pay up when we meet again in person. Remember the Four Way Test???

PolioPlus and the Gates Foundation
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been working right beside the Rotary Foundation for several years in helping to fund the eradication of polio worldwide. An end-of-year surge in contributions to PolioPlus propelled Rotary to again meets its worldwide goal of $50M to this Fund. Since the Gates Foundation had pledged to match these contributions 2-for-1 up to a maximum of $50M, this means that none of the Gates match will be left on the table. Congratulations to Rotarians everywhere..
