Dear Fellow Rotarians, Rotaractors and the Whole Rotary family, Last week you received exciting news about Rotary’s first ever Virtual Convention taking place June 20 - 26, 2020. We promised you additional information about programming to help you decide whether to include Virtual Convention content into your district conferences or club events. Here is a list of dates and times for Virtual Convention programming. As you can see, the convention does not run the entire day, but instead will be broadcast at a few set times each day. Additionally, if you miss the live broadcasts, they will be readily available on the convention website, providing some flexibility for you and your event attendees to participate at your own convenience. The Virtual Convention is free to all attendees, however, there will be a sign in process in order to access the programming. Detailed Instructions for this process will be provided before the event...... We hope that you will encourage those in your districts to participate in some of the fun features of the Virtual Convention: wearing and sharing photos and videos of us in our Aloha wear, the Virtual Walking Challenge, and interacting with others in the virtual House of Friendship. Please know that we understand and appreciate that you are looking for more detailed information about the Featured Breakouts, the platform that will be utilized, and instructions for accessing the programming and transitioning back and forth between events. That information will be shared with you as soon as it is available. Look for additional messages in the coming weeks and check the convention website regularly.

We were pleased to hold a joint meeting last week with the members of the Rotary Club of West Liberty, Iowa. We had 24 folks join the meeting via Zoom from both clubs. We enjoyed spending time with Gretchen Nollman and members of the West Liberty Rotary Club. Club members from other Rotary clubs near West Liberty also joined on meeting. Several folks from Iowa said that they had visited San Antonio at some time in the past. We learned how one of the West Liberty Rotary Club has been in the club since 1951 – that’s 69 years folk. We also had a couple of Past District Governors on the call from the Hawkeye State. Club
secretary Dan Clark received a nice little thank you note in the mail from Gretchen thanking him for setting up this joint meeting.
