THIS WEEK - CLUB ASSEMBLY
Let's all support Janet as she takes her first spin at the helm!
APRIL 5 SERVICE DAY
Our First Tuesday Service Project on April 5th will be at Tyson's home at 1108 E. Lewis. We might be doing ribbons for the WCA the first Tuesday in April instead of the lunch bag thing.  April is Sexual Assault Awareness month and I have been corresponding with the WCA on making ribbons for them.  Just let folks know that the service project will by at my house on April 5th 12-1pm.  Address: 1108 E. Lewis Street 83712.  
DARN THOSE BEAVERS
Our next opportunity to thwart those pesky beavers at the Willow Lane Park will be Saturday March 26 at 10:00AM. We'll have some chicken wire to wrap trees that are particularly tasty.
SHOPPING FOR RAMADAN
On Tuesdays in April, we will be collecting food donations to fill grocery bags for recently arrived Afghani families. Just bring any of the following to our regular meetings:
Reusable shopping bags – you can sometimes find these for $1
Basmati rice – India Market on Fairview has 10# bags
Olive oil – any size, any brand
Whole dates – These are usually in produce
Of course donating cash is okay, too. Venmo @Cornelia-Sprung.
 
We'll do a "delivery blitz" at the end of April.
 
DISTRICT CONFERENCE MAY 20
Plans are nearly complete for this year's District Conference in beautiful Sun Valley, May 20-21. District leadership promises a great event, including the Saturday evening banquet (featuring Brian Shul, a fighter pilot with a fascinating story)  and a variety of service projects on Saturday afternoon. The best advice is to stay at the Sun Valley Hotel so you don't miss any of the action! We have a block of rooms reserved  - $179/ night. For more details check the District 5400 website. Early registration ends March 31. Every Rotarian should attend a District Conference. Our club will reimburse attendees $100, toward your bar bill. Cornelia will be creating a "giving tree" of gift cards for the silent auction.
AID FOR UKRAINE
All Rotarians are Encouraged to Support the - Disaster Relief Fund - for Ukraine - In response to the deepening humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, The Rotary Foundation has created an official channel for Rotary members around the world to contribute funds to support the relief efforts underway by Rotary Districts and has designated its Disaster Response Fund as the main avenue for contributions.

Contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund in support of Ukraine can be made online at Disaster Response Fund | My Rotary. All funds need to be received into the Disaster Response Fund by 30 April, 2022 in order to qualify for use in support of the Ukrainian relief efforts.

  • Now through 30 April, 2022, Rotary districts can transfer unallocated District Designated Funds (DDF) to support the Disaster Response Fund, directly supporting these Ukraine-specific humanitarian grants.
  • During this same period, other impacted Rotary districts that wish to offer support to refugees or other victims of the crisis in their district can apply for $25,000 grants from the Disaster Response Fund.
  • Now through 30 June, 2022, designated Rotary Districts that border Ukraine and the Rotary district in Ukraine may apply for grants of up to $50,000 each from the Disaster Response Fund. These expedited disaster response grants can be used to provide relief to refugees or other victims of the crisis including items such as water, food, shelter, medicine, and clothing.
