In the spirit of service, which is both our mission and the focus of RI President Ian Riseley this year, we are soliciting ideas for district-wide service projects that can involve more than one hundred Rotarians. In particular, we are looking for projects that support Ian’s desire to protect the environment and curb climate change, which he views as essential to Rotary’s goal of sustainable service. Know where we can plant trees, remove invasive species, clean rivers, participate in town clean-up days, or run recycling programs to reduce waste? Have other ideas that can help protect our environment?
We are also open to other service project ideas that can involve many volunteers. Perhaps building a house with Habitat for Humanity, running a clothing or household goods drive, working at a food bank or pantry, or donating blankets to a shelter. We encourage partnering with other nonprofit organizations. The possibilities are endless!
Send your service ideas to Lynn Faust, District 7910 Service Chair, at lynn.faust@verizon.net. We would like to collect all ideas by September 15, 2017.
