> Dear Gary,
> In the past month, we have seen the COVID-19 pandemic push our healthcare system to its furthest limits. What if there was a way to help our healthcare workers, from the safety of our homes, to make a real difference in fighting this virus?
> 
> In the last three weeks, a nonprofit founded by Rotary members, The Global Impact Group, has been instrumental in an effort to roll out a citizen volunteer opportunity called Volunteer Surge. This Group was co-founded by Rotary members in Districts 5160 and 6900, and clubs throughout the country are joining in this effort.
> 
> I urge you to click HERE to go onto the TGIG website and learn more. You’ll see that this is an immediate opportunity for us to help our communities, as well as the nation, in the fight against COVID-19!
> 
> Click HERE to watch a video of the presentation of this inspirational effort, given to a large group of district governors. It will answer a lot of your questions.
> 
> Tomorrow, I will send an email to all Rotary Members in our district. You know, as well as I, that one email won’t produce the level of participation that we need. Please follow up with your members. Encourage them to check out the TGIG.org website and look at their FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). Encourage them to ask questions. Encourage them to sign up, and most importantly, encourage them to share this opportunity with friends and family. This chance to serve is NOT limited to Rotary Members!
> 
> I want to stress that the success of this program will be driven by the immediate participation of our clubs and members.
> 
> Important tasks for you to do, this week.
> 
> Review the website www.tgig.org before your next online meeting. Put a discussion of this initiative on your meeting agenda. Give your members an opportunity to hear from each other, so that all will understand the need, and the opportunity to help.
> At your next club meeting, show the video on the origins and goals of this incredible program.
> Finally, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate your help with this. The rest of the country is watching, and we hold the success of this program in our hands.
> 
> Sincerely,
>
