President's Message
 
Jim Welborne
This month we have donated money for shirts for the HealthLinc Community Health Fair and are working with the La Porte club to reinvigorate the Rotary Garden located in the Botanic Friendship Garden.  If you want to help with the Rotary Garden project contact Tom Keene.
 
Also, don't forget to tell me how we can improve your participation in the club using the Suggestion Box on our website.
 
Due to the continued escalation of the coronavirus we will only hold one onsite meeting per month until we can get passed this pandemic.  In order to mitigate risks to our members, the onsite meeting will be held in an outdoor setting where we can accommodate social distancing and masks are required.  We will now accept credit/debit card payments for meals and other items at our meeting.
 
In the meantime, continue to join your fellow Rotarians at our online meetings at noon on Thursdays.  You can hear from community leaders as well as share in fellowship.  You can join the meeting by clicking https://bit.ly/rotary3376mtg and by telephone at 312-535-8110 access code: 126 188 3153.
 
If you haven't attended for a while, know that you are missed.  I hope to "see" all of you on Thursday.

MC Rotary Helps with Michigan City Community Health Fair
HealthLinc expands access to exceptional health care in Michigan City.
 
Patients consistently perceive the HealthLinc experience as one of exceptional quality and satisfaction. Without hesitation, they refer families and friends. Those committed to improving health and reducing disparities see HealthLinc as a valued partner in the communities we serve. Employees choose to work at HealthLinc and are engaged because of the care we give patients, the team collaboration, and the servant leadership demonstrated throughout the organization.
 
Each year HealthLinc conducts a Community Health Fair where it provides no cost well-child checkups and sports physicals.  In addition they give out free backpacks and supplies,  This year the Rotary Club of Michigan City provided $2,000 for Michigan City Wolves spirit wear in the form of a t-shirt.
