Rotary 14 Transitions to Online Meeting

Join us online on March 17 at Noon for Rotary 14 online. For health reasons, our club’s meeting will only be available on Facebook. Grab a bite of lunch, BYOB and join us on Facebook beginning at 11:50 am for the meeting which will begin at Noon: https://www.facebook.com/Rotary14/

We will have a special program focused on how you can deal with the issues of doing things online, we’ll celebrate Paul Harris Fellows, introduce new members and “Kirstandy” will make a reappearance. We’ll have other fun and informative things happening.

For those of you who are technologically talented, the meeting will actually originate via the Zoom Videoconferencing System and be shared on Facebook for members to join in. We’ll be monitoring the chat window on Facebook and do our best to help those with technical issues.

President Mailani and any special guests will be connected via Zoom, with Gail Illlich running the technical aspects of the meeting. The remainder will be viewing the meeting via Facebook Live.
