Rotary Day of Wellness and Service
We want to make our District Conference a shared experience, despite the fact it will be mostly virtual. To get us out, active and together, we are encouraging every Club, by itself or working with other Clubs, to plan either a wellness or a service event for Saturday, May 22nd.
It has been a stressful year year, thanks to COVID, and the idea of this day is to do something for us (wellness) or for others (service) in a safe, socially-distant manner. Rotaractors, Interactors, family members and other non-Rotarians can be invited to join. During the virtual part of the District Conference, we will share your photos and video clips of the many activities that take place that weekend.
Examples of wellness activities – Club members walking together in a park or
along Lake Michigan, a group outdoor yoga or meditation activity, or a group bike ride.
Examples of service activities – an Operation Pollination project, a park clean-up
project, or working with a food pantry to distribute food.
The goal is to have hundreds of our Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors, and friends of Rotary active on the same day – Saturday, May 22. (Activities can also be scheduled for the following day, Sunday, May 23.)
To encourage participation, we are offering $100 per Club (including Rotaract and Interact clubs) to pay for any costs associated with your activity that weekend. Clubs are encouraged to collaborate. Please provide DG Chuck with the details of your event (time, place, description, contact person) by April 30, 2021 (new deadline), so we can publish a list of the activities being offered.
