Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Rotary Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing and sustainable projects, both here and around the world. Join us on Thursday as our own Sara Butruff, a member of our district's Foundation committee, shares how we can help transform the world we live in. If this sounds familiar, it's because Sara was scheduled for last week (Dec. 3) but couldn't make it, so lucky us, she agreed to present this week!

 

If you haven't already done so, please update your calendar with THIS NEW LINK. The meeting ID is the same – 770 579 8084, but the passcode is new – 827537.

 

And if all else fails – or you prefer – you can call in to 1-312-626-6799. I don't know if you really need the 1 on front, so be prepared to test it and be surprised!

If you missed it last week, please take time to watch A Voice for the Voiceless, presented by Stacy Schaffer, a member of Rotary District 5180 and founder & executive director of the 318 Project, which educates, advocates and raises awareness about human trafficking. Nate will lead a discussion on Thursday about how Farmington Rotary can help disrupt the human trafficking status-quo.

Farmington Rotary is important. But why? Why are YOU a member of this club? Barb suggested that some regular Facebook and website posts from each of us about our "Rotary why" is a great way to promote the club, engage current members and bring in new members. Submit your "why" to Barb. No technology skills necessary!
