Due to Indiana's governor's shelter in place order, The Rotary Club of Michigan City Indiana held its first online meeting on April 9, 2020.
 
The meeting was attended by about 20 members via WebEx meeting software.
 
Debbie Tatum was our first-ever online speaker and gave us a very informative update on the coronavirus from Franciscan Alliance.  In addition cowboy Tom Keene presided over a very interesting and fun sergeant-at-arms program.  The good of the order was accomplished by the meeting moderator unmuting Rotarian's phones in a round robin manner allowing each attendee to speak.
 
Other topics discussed were the following club projects:
  • Encouragement Cards and items for the eldery, first responders and Healthcare Workers.
  • Making Masks and gowns for Healthcare Workers.
  • Food pantry donations.
  • Recording the reading of the Apple Dumpling book for distribution to the schools.
  • Presenting Al's gift cards for the staff at Patrick's Grille.
Additional information about the program and projects will be coming by email and the foghorn newsletter.
