Cards and letters have impact!
Our simple project to keep in touch with seniors and others shut in and alone at this time has spread far and wide, from Newark and Elkton to sunny Florida, the needs are the same. More than 500 cards/notes have been delivered so far.Let’s keep up the goal of 5 cards or notes per member per week to continue spreading positive messages to our community. Please sign your card and include our club name. Mike Luck will continue to deliver to local nursing homes, senior residents, and Lori’s Hands clients. Let’s get the second wave going!
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.
