Sturbridge and Southbridge clubs collaborate and form a Rotary Community Corps
District Governor Karin Gaffney and President David Zonia signed the Rotary Community Corps Organization Form during her Official Visit to the Sturbridge Rotary Club, just this Monday, October 16th.  This will be a Rotary Community Corps (RCC) jointly sponsored by TWO Rotary clubs, to be known as the Rotary Community Corps of Sturbridge & Southbridge. 
 
Rotary created these corps to provide a formal mechanism that provides local non-Rotarian volunteers with an organizational structure to do good in their local communities.  As such they operate largely independent of the sponsoring clubs, but still report to them for their actions.

What would you do with your Rotary meeting if you couldn’t have lunch? How about service?
Here are a few ideas for “micro” service projects that could be done during Rotary meetings. How about writing Thank You for Your Service cards to Veterans and handing them out at your club’s or another club’s Veteran’s Day event?
 
How about decorating pumpkins for a fall centerpiece for tables at your local senior center or assisted living facility?
 
 
 
How about meeting at a local park and doing a “clean up project” during the meeting time? How about a book drive? Or making sock puppets for a children’s hospital? Or packing backpacks? Any and all ideas for micro-projects that could be accomplished during a Rotary meeting are welcome and encouraged. Service drives engagement. Try a new meeting format and mix it up! Service works, and it’s how Rotary is Marking a Difference!

ShelterBox partners with ROTARY, responding in the Caribbean


ShelterBox Response Teams in the Caribbean are working with local Rotary contacts and several humanitarian organizations on the complex task of evaluating need and delivering emergency shelter to the families that desperately need it.

ShelterBox is currently coordinating the provision of aid across six countries, including Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis, the Dominican Republic, Dominica and the British Virgin Islands.

Photo: ShelterBox Tents are delivered on Barbuda as an estimated 95% of the island's structures are destroyed or damaged following Hurricane Irma.

Rotary pilots new approach to peace and spotlights six peacemakers
EVANSTON, Ill. (September 21, 2017) — Rotary has entered a new partnership with the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) to enhance its peace and conflict resolution efforts with data-driven methodologies and tools, as it honors six ‘Champions of Peace.’
The partnership with IEP – a global think tank that pioneered a conceptual framework for ‘Positive Peace’  – enables both organizations to work together to create an online learning platform with webinars and interactive tools to teach Rotary members and Rotary Peace Fellows to apply new peacebuilding methods to their communities while addressing underlying causes of conflicts. In addition, the partnership allows for the development of local workshops hosted by Rotary clubs to educate communities about positive peace.

Rotary helps wildfire victims
The Rotary Foundation has set up a special fund to help in the wake of deadly wildfires in California. 
 
More than 220,000 acres have been scorched and more than 40 people have been confirmed dead. “The magnitude of the devastation that is occurring right now in the North Bay and wine county is vast and far reaching.  The recovery and rebuild is going to be a long process but we are confident that we can lead the way in bringing these communities back.  Rotarians know how to get things done and won’t stop until we reach the finish line,” said Bob Rogers, Rotary 5130 District Governor.
