Congratulations Sofia!

Congratulations to Sofia Davico, our student from Italy on her graduation from Kettering Fairmont! She will have one more year of school when she returns to Italy in the summer.

She also was to witness history last week as she saw the launch of the SpaceX launch of 'Crew Dragon' from Cocoa Beach.

WHIO Coverage of our mask project.

1,000 masks and counting!

With your generous donations of fabric and elastic we're doing good in our neighborhood(s)! Brenda sewed her 1,000th mask on Sunday and she reports over $2,400 raised for our foundation to give to the local food banks. Her sewing machine broke at about the 800 mark but one of her friends had a spare and we continued on. Her business will be opening up next week, but she'll continue sewing in the evenings and weekends. It's been a great project with support from so many of our members and a wonderful way for our club to help so many in our community. Thank you to everyone!

Mask Project 2.0!

Our club has donated more than 400 masks to area nursing homes! We're still sewing!

The need for masks now that the CDC has recommend every individual wear them if in public is overwhelming. We are doing our part to get them to those who need them. They are free to anyone who needs them, but if they are able to make a donation to our club foundation - we can do even more positive things in our community - like support food banks, scholarships and other non-profits. The most important thing though is for everyone to stay well.

Below are photos of some of the prints - these are colorful - and the selection varies daily (I promise they aren't all 'girly') ! The masks are machine washable, have a wire at the top to mold to your nose, a pocket to insert a filter or extra layer of protection such as a tissue, coffee filter or hepa filter. According to the CDC machine washing is enough to sanitize your masks. DO NOT PUT IN THE MICROWAVE! Some tie on, some have elastic or performance fabric loops. If you need them, contact us and we'll do our best to help.

Supporting the environment becomes a new area of focus

The Rotary Foundation Trustees and RI Board of Directors have added a new area of focus: supporting the environment.

Brenda Stansfield

Welcome to Kettering Rotary. We are inspired leaders in our community who come together weekly to learn about our community, forge lasting business and personal relationships and join together to make Kettering more vibrant, inclusive and friendly for all citizens.

Our meetings have guest speakers each week that are entertaining, informative and important to our work and leisure.

Service clubs offer so much more to members than a chance to give back to our community - we have a supportive 'family' of friends to support us, cheer us on, mentor and inspire us. If you're looking for a way to connect with others personally or professionally - we might be a great place to start! We always have room for 'one more' at our table. So please come and join us!
