DG ANGELA RICKMAN NOVEMBER MESSAGE

Happy November!

I know many of us felt the impact and significant challenges with the ice storms in our community recently, and my thoughts have been with you; and I hope this finds you doing well.

In the Rotary world, November marks our time to reflect on the foundation. The Rotary Foundation is an essential component of the good we can do, and I would encourage you to look at ways to support the foundation. You can maximize year-end giving by encouraging members to make a gift on Giving Tuesday, which is on December 1st.

Another new fundraising tool that I recently learned about is called Raise for Rotary. This site is a peer to peer tool that allows you to create fundraising pages that are easy to share with family and friends through social media and email, similar to "Go Fund Me." Check it out at raise.rotary.org, and I'd love to hear any successes with your clubs using it to raise funds for projects.

Finally, I'd like to wrap up by sharing that I will be visiting OKC Sunrise for a virtual visit on November 19th. I look forward to these visits and connecting with you during these challenging times. Please continue to use new and innovative ways to keep members engaged and connected, and I look forward to a time when we can meet in person and celebrate the friendships and work we do as Rotarians.

Thanks,

Angela Rickman
