Excerpts from a paper by DGE Mark Humphries
Club life is important to us, it provides fellowship, it is where we make a difference to those around us. Don’t just suspend your meetings, embrace the new age of communication to maintain the connections and social aspects of your club. As DG Adrian says, it’s easier than you think.With Zoom (or similar products) you can web conference and maintain the connections and social aspects of your club despite the COVID-19 restrictions. You’ll see later in Chain Mail that there is a special offer available for zoom subscriptions for Rotary clubs (see the Communication & Engagement during COVID-19 story). Alternatively, District has 3 Zoom licenses, which clubs are very welcome to make use of. We are looking for someone to administer this for us.
Not sure about zoom – why don’t you join Latitude 38 on one of their zoom meetings to see what it is like. Visit http://www.eclublatitude38.org/ for more information on this. You’ll be made very welcome.
Do you have an inspirational speaker that you think people from across our District might be interested in hearing? Why not send us their details, we will contact them and see if we can establish a webinar, then advertise this across our District and beyond.
