SUMMARY OF ZOOM MEETING OF APRIL 8, 2021
We did not have a speaker for this meeting but we did share a lot of news.
Amy Miller provided an update for the Life and Hope School in Milot, Haiti. First off, there is going to be a fundraiser next week (see below). This will be a virtual bus tour and drive through Milot with some students and staff from the school. They will provide an update of their activities and some music. This is a fundraiser as well so there will be opportunities to give to the school during the event or afterwards. Amy reports that, in honor of Bob's Clam Hut which has supported the school in Milot from the very beginning, the school has created an eatery called "Chez Bob" in Cap Haitien. I have tried to cut and paste the information from the email Amy sent, but this is what came through. If the link doesn't go anywhere, just contact Amy or me and one of us will forward you the actual email with specific details and a lovely photo. The information should also be posted on our club's Facebook page (check it out for other Facebook updates Brandon has helped us with). Search South Berwick-Eliot Rotary Club for the FB page.
