Rotarians at Work Day April 23 - new option at Farrington
Projects for Rotarians at Workday!  Every year in April, the clubs in the District do projects for Rotarians at Work Day.  This year, we have 2 opportunities to present to you, both on Saturday, April 23rd,  Please indicate which project you would like to do.
 
 
1)This year's speech festival is a virtual event for approximately 30 participating schools with about 210 student participants.About100 judges from various community/business partners are needed to support this fabulous event.  The judge will need access to a device (laptop, computer, iPad) that has a working video camera, microphone, and strong internet connection, and all documents and rater sheets will be digital.
 
2) If you and your friends and family would like to do a hands-on, outdoor project, the Farrington High School Interact club has planned a community garden on their campus, 8am to Noon.  With this garden, they hope to educate people on gardening, make an impact on climate change, as well provide a safe space for mental health.  The project includes building planters, setting up a compost system, starting seeds.  Let's support our Interact club and have fun in the sun!

April is Maternal and Child Health Month

Rotary's theme for April is Maternal and Child Health.  Rotary makes high-quality health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger. We expand access to quality care, so mothers and children everywhere can have the same opportunities for a healthy future. An estimated 5.9 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, inadequate health care, and poor sanitation — all of which can be prevented.  Last year, the Rotary Foundation funded 129 global grants in this focus area in the amount of $8.4 million.
