So, when the newsletter editor isn’t there, you get a pretty short newsletter ;-)    Matt Goodwin from the Yamhill County Emergency Management Office was there and I heard he gave you all a good scare.  Hopefully he also gave you some info on what will happen in Yamhill County.  This week, we’ll be hearing from the Red Cross about how to take care of yourself and your family in an emergency.

A couple of things:

Guatemala toothbrushes

A toothbrush holder for the kids in the school restocked by our Rotarians

Follow the blog for our Rotarians in Guatemala  Auggie Gonzales (and his wife Maureen) is again leading the group that includes Alan Methven, Jim McMaster (and his wife Melody and son, Spencer), Grant Austin, and dentists and other Friends of Rotary in Guatemala.

Roster on Wheels:  This is a really good way to have every Rotarian’s e-mail and phone number handy in your phone.  I’ve already used it a couple of times to send an email and it is great.    It’s pretty easy to load on your smart phone.  Here’s the links to add this directory of Rotarians (and more info as well) to your phone.

Here’s an interesting offer from Rotary International that can benefit you and all the projects that the Rotary Foundation makes possible.

Dear Rotary Club President,

We are pleased to announce that eBay, the world’s leading online auction website, will donate a portion of its sales from select Live Auctions to Rotary beginning February 2016. Rotarians and their friends and families are encouraged to visit eBay Live Auctions each month to see what is available for real-time bidding from hundreds of auction houses.

Each month, Rotary will be featured as the beneficiary of a designated set of eBay Live Auctions. Products may include antiques, rare books, sports memorabilia, watches, stamps, art, and fine jewelry. Please visit eBay Live Auctions to see the featured auctions and browse the catalog of items available for bid. The more items sold, the more Rotary benefits!

Please share the news about this exciting relationship between Rotary and eBay with the Rotarians in your club. This special offer by eBay is being launched first in the United States, so we look to your Rotary club for its support. If there are questions, please contact [email protected].

Sincerely,

John Hewko
General Secretary
Rotary International
