Plato certainly had it right when he issued that truism many centuries ago.  It still holds true today, as all of us adjust to significant changes in our daily lives.  I suppose you could expect Plato to be pretty insightful given that he was a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle; those are pretty impressive credentials.

The leadership of your Rotary Club of Canton is adapting to change along with you. We are looking for ways to keep the business of our club moving forward, despite the social separation that is a necessity in these times.  My message this week highlights some news and upcoming items that need your attention.

 

Email Election of New Officers and Directors.  While we deal with the current matters facing our club, we are looking to the future as well.  Next week, we will present our slate of incoming Directors and Officers to our membership.  This group of individuals represent some outstanding people who will help guide our club in the 2020-2021 Fiscal Year.  Each of the nominees were profiled for you in our Rotograms earlier this year and many of you know these folks personally.

 

 

Plans for a Videoconference Meeting.  We are making plans to conduct a meeting via videoconference later this month.  For those of you who haven’t already attended this type of meeting, we have the ability to have all members access a “virtual room” where we can see each other and interact in a somewhat controlled environment.  It is a fun way of getting together, while staying physically separated.  There are a number of logistical issues to resolve before attempting this, so stay tuned for more specific information in future Rotograms and emails.

 

We’re fortunate to live in a time where “virtual” interaction is possible.  Keep looking for weekly updates on our Rotogram, via email, and Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ROTARY-CLUB-OF-CANTON-OHIO-191449020995/ .  Above all, be safe.

 

Warmest regards,
