On Tuesday, December 22, 2020, we won’t be having a lunch meeting. Instead, please join us from 4:30 to 6:00PM for our Holiday Happy Hour – Ugly Christmas Sweater Edition!
Michael Cottam has agreed to donate a bottle of Christmas cheer (of your choice) to the person wearing the most awesome holiday garb. So don that appalling Christmas sweater your spouse can’t believe you actually bought, or your Santa hat that dances and sings, or your stunning Grinch Christmas tie, and see you all on the 22nd! |

Our club + our Rotary district came up with $4000 to buy Thanksgiving dinners for needy families through Walmart and The Giving Plate. This donation bought over 600 turkeys, plus the fixings!
We received these letters of thanks from the students our club is sponsoring in San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala. The student’s letters are on the left; for your convenience, we have a translation of the letter to the right of each.
Join us this Thursday for in-person Happy Hour at Crux Fermentation Project!

Rotary District 5300 annually puts on a district-wide peace conference in which we invite Rotarians from our surrounding districts to participate. This year our 31st Annual Peace Conference will occur on Saturday, October 24, 2020, and because it will be held virtually we have expanded our outreach to Rotarians in Zones 26 and 27 and offer it free of charge.
We invite you to participate; and we request that in your communications with your district Rotarians, you help us get the word out to those interested in learning about and promoting peace. This year’s apt theme is:
We have a number of illustrious speakers including immediate past Rotary International President, Mark Daniel Maloney.

On Tuesday, March 10th 2020, our lunch program is our annual Invention Convention.
Every year, Rotary Club of Greater Bend hosts the “Invention Convention” where students from Miller Elementary School are encouraged to think up (and present to the club and their family members) their inventions to “save the world” or just make life a little easier for all of us. It’s absolutely amazing what ideas these young entrepreneurs come up with and this event always leaves us feeling more positive about the future! Club members help with judging which takes a good half day since virtually every student at the school takes part in this fun event! |
