[Rotary] Subject: Rotary: Coronavirus Mitigation Committee

[Jeffry Stubbs]

Hi all, 
Attached is the really excellent District 5130 report on Rotary's fast-growing support for coronavirus mitigation, and what it could mean for our club:
-$500 available now, preceded by a brief report to the Grants Chair Dan Balfe (which I think I can do)
-Funding next year for district grants through the usual channels for coronavirus mitigation efforts and 
-up to $25,000 for disaster relief efforts related to the coronavirus pandemic. 
There is an excellent framework for investigating what our club can do.
We decided at our meeting of 4/9/2020 to form a committee to look into it. 
People who I saw with raised hands wishing to serve on the committee were Pam, Mike, Jerry and Jesse. If anyone else would like to join the committee please let Mike or one of the other committee members know.
It would be good if the committee could meet fairly soon, to put some ideas on the table and ensure we can put together a district grant request if that is what we want to do.
A district grant is typically $2,000-$2,500 and a club can have two but with the same total funding. 
So one could see as district grant options for next year a new or repaired scoreboard for our local schools, and/or a  coronavirus mitigation project.
Everyone should read the report which is excellent.
