State and National Programs are being created and new announcements made each day which are aimed to help businesses manage the impact of the current pandemic. Pay attention to the announcements and reach out to a fellow Rotarian if you believe a program would benefit their business.
Sinikka is hosting a daily call that has been really meaningful for the participants. It’s free and open so you can join one day and not the next, or drop in when your schedule permits.

Here’s the blog link where you’ll find recaps each day, plus the link to the meeting itself
