Please let all your club members know about this event and consider cancelling your meeting the week of November 12. Guest speaker: RI Director Chris Etienne, Representative Seth Moulton, Retired Brigadier General Jack Hammond from Home Base.
Please register your PHF and any guests that may be coming. Your club will be responsible for payment for your PHF and any guests.
Please let Joan Arsenault, thewellbeing@comcast.net, know if you club is able to contribute to the GRANT for Home Base. We need to raise $10,000 to support this grant. The total grant is $20,000 and the District is providing $10,000 from TRF DDF. To date, the Rockport club has committed $1000 to this grant. The grant provides back backs to veterans and their families with supplies for the intensive mental health program to help reduce suicide risk. In addition, the grant will be buying flags for the Memorial Day Flag Garden on the commons. These flags are for fallen heroes since the civil war. Rotary will be involved in packing the back packs as well as setting up and removing the flags.
Please pick your PHF VETERAN hero(s) by October 25th. If you don't have enough points for a PHF contact DRFC Anne Lewis to see if the district can support your club with points. Anne will be sending out instructions for your PHF but in the meantime if you have one picked email Anne the form as she will send into RI.
We are asking each club to donate a $100 or more SILENT AUCTION ITEM to raise money for our Rotary Foundation. Here is the direct and link for the forms regarding the Silent Auction item.
This is going to be an outstanding event. Let's pack the house!!!!
