Anwar Hossain is trying to get a speaker on climate change. He has two possible speakers. One is a scientist in the field, the other is a reporter who has and is doing a program on the topic. We may tie this into an Earth Day (April 23) program.
Sue asked if we had gotten any feedback from the food baskets we delivered just before Christmas. Several of the Rotarians that delivered them said they were well received.
It was suggested that with the need for help that many families have that, EHRC adopt one family a month and give them some assistance. This be a topic for the Board.
Anwar has put together an extensive list of projects that EHRC has done this past year and hopes to make it available to the club members and to use this list to attract new members through distribution at public events i.e., farmers markets, etc.
