Support our own.
Several years ago a specific line item was put into our budget to assist our own members in times of need. The Charitable Rotarian Assistance Program (CRAP) helps a fellow Rotarian who is dealing with challenges – financial or personal – when they need it most. The fund has been depleted over the years. If you would like to make a voluntary contribution to this fund, you can send a check made out to NMRC, with CRAP in the memo, to Treasurer Shawn Klapinsky or go online to NMRDE.org and make a donation. Please inform Shawn so he knows and can apply to the correct line item. The Board will make decisions on how the money will be dispersed.
Grant project for 2020-2021
The grant committee, chaired by Jerry Holt, has submitted a district grant application to support of the newly established Newark PAL program. In 2021 they will be getting a trailer that will travel to various playgrounds and sites around Newark, equipped with sports equipment, computers, small refrigerator, books, and giveaways for local children. Our part of the project will be to fund the equipment and giveaways. Christiana Club has agreed to participate and support our project.
Congratulations!
Even though we are not meeting face-to-face, our support of The Rotary Foundation continues. Just received this week – a Paul Harris plus 3 pin for Don Newcomb, and a Paul Harris plus 2 for Shawn Klapinsky. What is a Paul Harris pin? When you contribute a total of $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation, you become a Paul Harris Fellow and get your first pin. It can take years to accumulate. When you contribute the second $1,000 you get a new pin with a stone, and so on. When you reach $10,000 you become a Major Donor (and no more pins until the second $10,000 is reached). So reach for your first Paul Harris pin, or make the second one your goal for next Rotary year.

Thought for the Week:
All of us should take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
