COVID 19 Resources
The American Bar Association Task Force on Legal Needs Arising Out of the 2020 Pandemic recently launched a web page to provide information about resources, changes in benefits, and emerging legal issues caused by the coronavirus pandemic.  The task force was created in response to the growing legal needs of ordinary Americans arising from the COVID-19 emergency. The webpage includes consumer-focused information on emerging legal issues and public benefits programs, including new benefits provided in the CARES Act, protections against evictions and other actions due to job losses, plus resources for attorneys to facilitate practice during this extraordinary time and pro bono opportunities.

Volunteer Surge Project
In the past month, we have seen the COVID-19 pandemic push our healthcare system around the country to its limits. What if there was a way to help our healthcare workers, from the safety of our homes, to make a real difference in fighting this virus?
 
In the last four weeks, a nonprofit founded by Rotary members, The Global Impact Group, has been instrumental in an effort to roll out a citizen volunteer opportunity called Volunteer Surge. This Group was co-founded by Rotary members in Districts 5160 and 6900, and clubs throughout the country are joining in this effort.
 
Combining the power of Rotary, using the technology and collaboration available today, this project has the support and the vision to for significant social impact.  I urge you to click HERE to go onto the TGIG website and learn more. You’ll see that this is an immediate opportunity for us to help our communities, as well as the nation, in the fight against COVID-19! 
 
Volunteer Surge website..  https://volunteersurge.com/
 
Volunteering will help healthcare workers save lives! Please check out the TGIG.org website and look at their FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). This opportunity to serve is not limited to Rotary Members!  We encourage you to find out more, sign up if you’re interested in joining the fight against COVID-19, and most importantly to please share this opportunity with friends and family.

Joint Statement from Kiwanis International, Lions Clubs International, Optimist International, and Rotary

 

Members use ingenuity, flexibility to help people affected by coronavirus and to stay connected

 

Inspired in part by Indiana Jones, space archaeologist Sarah Parcak uses futuristic airborne technology to unearth the treasures of the past.

 

How do we escape our tangled relationship with a throwaway culture? Rotarians are pointing the way.

 

Since 2015, more than 4 million people have fled an economically devastated Venezuela. Tracking the stories of three who left puts faces on that staggering statistic.
