The annual coat distribution day is Wednesday, November 18from 2- 5 pm in the Harding Elementary School parking lot on Cordova St, on Youngstown's Northside. We will be orchestrating a drive-through distribution to coincide with the Harding meal distribution. Tents will be set up in the parking lot under which we will fit students with their new winter coat. The Committee is seeking volunteers to make it happen!

COVID has been tough on our fellowship opportunities for sure. However, we know that when we join in the meeting YOU are more likely to get involved.

Our District receives Rotary Foundation District Designated Funds each year. This approximately $50K is used to partner with a number of local and international projects by providing small sums as seed-money toward larger Rotary Foundation Global Grants. What a difference we can make in the world through these projects! Learn more about our efforts to help the village of Oholi, India HERE
During the past five years, District 6650 has raised more than $200,000 for The Rotary Foundation to do “Good in the World.” This year District Governor Linda Henderson is adding a new contest to the annual Paul Harris Fellow Challenge with a new promo called Double Your Donation. It will allow donors of $100 or more to GIFT their matching Foundation Points to another Rotarian in their Club. You both receive the donor credit toward your first or next Paul Harris Fellow level! In mid-November, all Rotarians in the District will be receiving a letter further explaining this option.
