Adopt a Village - Laos
Here is part of Steve's presentation to the group.
 

It was such a pleasure to present to you once again, to your members.  It would have been nice to see Gloria too...I hope everything is ok.

Anyway, for those members that were not able to view my presentation, I have included a few links below;

This first one is our interactive Google map where it shows most of the villages we have done projects, including water filters.  It is great that you can actually zoom in on the villages themselves and see the huts that they live in, as well as get a better understanding as to how difficult it is to reach some of the mountain villages with the makeshift roads wrapping around the mountains.  Also, in many of them, you will see pictures of what we did there.  Most of the filters your members sponsored were distributed in Lao Sao so you can look that up on the map - best to look for the village name in the key on the left and click on it - this will highlite the village on the map and you can zoom in on it.  I remember we poured rain just before we arrived and there was mud everywhere.  Here is the link...https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1RbgoWn6XeX09gV1UgYapHKdjs1PCILZ1&ll=20.403469662584467%2C102.70382906479175&z=18

I have also enclosed our water filter brochure (same as last year)

Finally, I have enclosed a link for last seasons video.  Despite the drought, hoof and mouth disease and covid, we accomplished more than ever before....https://youtu.be/R2TPS4kATRk 

Remember, please don't expect perfection with the video...it is very amateur because we don't have the luxury of good audio and lighting conditions, not to mention good equipment.

Take Care and I look forward to hearing from Gloria about the possibility of doing something similar to last year.

Steve

 

Greeters This Week and Next Two

Greeters This Week and the Next Two

Lets all join in and greet each other
 

Greeter Duties

Greeters are the first point of contact for guests, potential new members, and our members. Making all who attend our meeting feel welcome is the responsibility of all of us as we all take turns being greeters. All greeters should arrive no later than 6:40 am and be prepared to assist in setting up and preparing for the meeting. If a greeter cannot be present for their day of duties, please contact another member to fill in for you. Greeters will:

  • ensure that the sandwich board at the entrance.

  • ensure that flags and banners are in place.

  • welcome all members and guests and make them comfortable with the proceedings and surroundings, i.e., seating, coffee, schedule of meeting etc.

  • greet and sit with the speaker to gather information useful in providing a respectful and meaningful introduction of the speaker and the program.

  • thank the speaker and present the certificate of appreciation for their presentation. (Note: The certificate is NOT a contribution of $20.00 in the speakers’ name. We donate $20.00 to the Rotary Foundation in recognition of their presentation at the meeting.)

  • assist in taking down the flags, banners and place the sandwich board back in Kathy's office.
