COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION, Thoughts from Dave Alexander, DGN

 
Community service projects can mobilize many stakeholders to work together on challenges one group alone may not be able to manage. The Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup, tree planting, or community garden installations are a few examples that make a difference over the long term. Sometimes these projects start at the club level from a suggestion of a speaker or acting on a conversation between a few colleagues. To strengthen and expand the initiative a project may be done jointly between two or more clubs. With Rotary adding Environment as our newest area of focus we can see Clubs and Districts developing new and exciting projects. It is not a stretch to look for these ideas and seek out details.
One area you may want to consider is a project related to the Healthy Communities theme. There is a more detailed write-up on this that provides some suggestions to aid your thinking on the District 7090 website (see https://rotary7090.org/page/healthy-communities). You are welcome to get your club involved in a service project in this area or assist at the District level in promoting this theme.
