Rotary...What We Care About
QUOTE OF THE MONTH
AUGUST 2022
July certainly flew by! I visited 9 clubs during the month of July: Orrville, Dover, Jackson Township, Canton South, Carrollton, Warren, Cortland, Plain Township, and Canton. I have had such an amazing time driving through the district, meeting fellow Rotarians, and hearing about all that they are working on! I have another 11 visits scheduled for the month of August. If you haven’t gotten me on your schedule yet, please email me! I really want to try to get to every club before the end of October!
Our “Night for Ukraine” website is now live! Please check it out here. We are currently soliciting sponsorships. Tickets will go on sale in September. Reminder! I am asking each club to donate or raise a minimum of $2,500 for this event. Every Club who does so will receive a Paul Harris Fellow to give out as they see fit. My goal is to raise at least $100,000. All proceeds from this event will benefit The Rotary Foundation’s Disaster Relief Fund.
Polio Update: If you have not already heard, a case of vaccine-derived polio virus has been reported in the state of New York. Now more than ever, we need to stress the importance of donating to the Polio Fund. I am asking each club to commit at least $1,000 to the Polio Fund.
As you are working with your Clubs and planning your projects this year, please remember Jennifer Jones’ initiatives. Take action to:
Last, but not least, please invite me to your events! I want to be there! If I can fit your fundraiser or special event into my schedule, I will be there!
Have an amazing August!
Yours in Rotary,
DG Michelle

Memories made by our DG Michele Charles and fellow Rotarians at the RI International Convention in Houston, Texas...
My husband JC and I were thrilled to represent District 6650 in Houston. What an amazing time to be back in person with 11,000 of our closest friends from around the world! A few of the highlights for us - the 30 second standing ovation for Ukraine, having time to hang out with our fellow district governors from Ohio, and having amazing discussions with people from Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, and India just to name a few! The most powerful speaker was by far Ukrainian Rotarian Olha Palychuk who traveled across the world to share with us. It turned out that she was the Canton Club’s contact earlier in the year when they sent money directly to her club for medicines and other supplies. I had the honor of meeting her in person. To be able to give her a hug and share time with her was, to me, what Rotary is all about.

CANFIELD ROTARY
Canfield’s 4th of July Parade and our club's float... members passed out bottles of water during the parade. Sam Boak, a 20 year Canfield Rotary member, was the Grand Marshall for the parade.
Club members volunteered this past weekend at Sleep Heavenly Peace Project. They provide beds for children who don’t have one. The project consisted of making the beds from the beginning. We had to cut wood, sand and stain before putting the beds together. The project was sponsored by Canfield Presbyterian Church and Canfield Lions Club. Larry Bowald is a Canfield Rotarian and the Pastor for the church.
CANTON ROTARY
The club’s next project is the City Shelter Project. It’s not fun standing in the rain, sweltering heat or on top of snow mounds awaiting a bus. They are funding two shelters. One is paid for and being built and they are fundraising for the second shelter. On Monday, August 22 there is a fundraiser at Kozmos Grille in Massillon to raise money for this project. People only need to bring the flyer below and 20% of their bill will go back to this project. Or donations can be made through our Venmo or by check.
A family turned horrible tragedy into good. Jim Eckelberry, along with his wife, Lori, founded Katie’s Kids, a non-profit that grants small wishes to children through a network of liaisons in memory of their daughter, Katie, who was killed by a drunk driver. Our club made a $7500 donation to the cause.
