May 7, 2019

Yo, Adrienne!

Meeting May 2, 2019

Heidi Kiene - Founder I Am Zambia

We learned about an amazing program, and how the efforts and passion of just 1-2 people can profoundly affect our world for the better. Which should further inspire us as to what we can accomplish in Rotary!

This program is fast becoming self sustaining, and you can learn more about how to help and empower young women in Zambia by checking out their web site:

Celebrations: Alexis Riggs rang the bell celebrating her birthday, and too much more to talk about, especially developments at Orangetheory...

Inspirations:

Prez Adrienne purchased 7 squares in honor of our amazing ABO student last week, Jonnie Pullman was inspired by Dave Galloway and Kate Nickolls for their service at Natchez Elementary STEM night and Jason Morris for his ongoing work on the Programs committee.

Grants Management Training: we need more members trained in Rotary Grants Management so RSR can continue to be qualified for District and International grants. Sessions are under an hour. More information upcoming. Next date May 20 - registration info upcoming.
