Katelyn Wisser and Jenilee Haynes are heading up the project committee. They can use your help to manage our projects for this year. You can see their presentation at our last meeting here. Please be a Person of Action and contact Katelyn or Jenilee and let them know how you will help.
Our meeting on the 30th will highlight the Rotary Garden Project as well as presenting two Paul Harris Fellows.
Due to the continuing pandemic we are not able to meet in person as much as we would like. Please join us online at https://bit.ly/rotary3376mtg every Thursday at Noon. Also, since we are not meeting in person we are not getting the funds for the eyeglasses program or the "Feed the Pig" funds for the Thanksgiving Turkeys and Hams. I am suggesting that you keep track of what you would have donated if we were meeting in person and once a month send Deb Varnak our treasurer a check indicating how much is for the eyeglass and "Feed the Pig" funding. You can mail the check to:
The Rotary Club of Michigan City
P.O. Box 9372
Michigan City, IN 46361-9372
Speaking of suggestions, the website now has a link to a suggestion box on the home page menu. Feel free to use it to let us know how we can improve or club.

Among them are Rotary members who are using their knowledge and resources — along with their Rotary connections — to tackle the shortage of PPE.
Nathan Rizzo joined the Rotary Club of San Antonio, Texas, USA, two years ago. But it wasn’t until his club embarked on a project to help a local elementary school during the COVID-19 pandemic, that he learned the true power of Rotary and discovered what it meant to be a Rotarian.
An improved My Rotary experience will debut at the end of July. You’ll find a redesigned site that’s faster, easier to navigate, and accessible on your mobile device.

Stronger privacy settings that let you decide what personal information to share and with whom
Enhanced member profiles that may provide someone’s name, club, role, and contact information, depending on the information they have decided to share
