Meeting
Rotary District  7910 Governor, Pam Anastasi, welcomed our new President, Dan Tibma and thanked our prior President, Bill Paulson, for his service (see photos below). Pam spoke to our club on this year's theme: "Rotary Connects the World" by creating lasting change in our communities, in ourselves, and across the world. The top three priorities of our district:
1.) membership, remember too invite people to come to our meetings;
2.) engagement, help get visitors and members engaged by involving them in our service activities; and
3.) public image, make sure to keep the club's website and Facebook page up-to-date.
 
The District has approved this year's global grant of $25,000 to support a water/sewer sanitation project in Guatemala. District clubs are invited to sponsor members to participate in the project as workers for a week in March 2020. Pam will be swimming in February 2020 in chilly Gloucester harbor to raise funds for "Pam's Polar Plunge for Polio". She has asked the district's clubs to contribute $100 each towards a $5000 goal, which will be matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation.
