Many changes have taken place over the last few months due to the pandemic. The weekly Thursday lunch meetings have changed to a social “Talk To Me Thursday” virtual discussions. The club president has a different “question” to create some light-hearted conversation and a few laughs! The Rotary Club of Hamilton has been able to maintain a few of the service projects including the Little Library Box.
The Little Library Box has been stocked with books, crafts, games and even food over the past month. Rotarians, friends of Rotary and community members, and teachers from Cathy Wever School all have stepped up to fill the Little Library Box.
In addition, the CORE Kids After School Program was paused but has been pivoting to meet new needs in the community. Over 100 children came to the program each week, the Program Staff have continued to connect virtually and by phone with the children. There have been KID Packs delivered to some of the homes that included activities, crafts, and food for the children and their families. During the pandemic, we have seen many of the families in great need of basic supplies, and we have been able to connect them with the right resources and help while they are staying at home and being safe.
Rotary is not canceled, it is just different….meetings are different, projects change, adapt and meet the greatest needs.
