Announcements 

This email is being shared with all Club Presidents, Club Foundation Chairs, Club International Service Chairs, Assistant Governors and the District Governor Team from Rotary District 5370. Please share with your individual club members and any other interested parties.

We have all heard about the horrible situation in Ukraine the past few weeks. The District Leadership team has heard from many Rotarians asking what we can do to help. We believe the best way to help is through the Rotary Foundation Disaster Response Fund. Please follow the link for more information about how funds will be used. The Foundation Trustees recently announced that all donations to the Fund between now and April 30, 2022 will be used for our response in Ukraine. Rotary Districts in and adjacent to Ukraine will be eligible to apply for the funds.

Your District Leadership team will match contributions made by D5370 clubs and Rotarians up to US$10,000 in total for all donations made before April 15, 2022. I will track the donation amounts but I will need the help of club Foundation chairs to do that. I am asking each Foundation chair to track the donations from your club (and members) and send me a note with the amount contributed. The District matching will come from our District Designated Funds.

Please Donate Here

Please send an email to Irene Makar at irene@dalcor.net to let her know (a) how much you have donated and (b) on what date so that we can have an accurate tally to report to District 5370.  Thank you!

Yours in Rotary Service

Tim Schilds, D5370 Rotary Foundation Chair

Food for thought 

Jack Webb, Dragnet - The Big Departure Speech - Joe Friday and Bill Gannon give a speech to some teenagers about their wishes to start a new country. Jack Webb’s “The Big Departure” Speech Still Holds True Today. 

In this episode of Dragnet which aired March 7, 1968 titled “The Big Departure”, a few teenagers want to start their own country on an island off the coast of California. When they are caught stealing from local stores to fund their efforts, Jack Webb has THIS to say to them.
