If we’re not meant to have midnight snacks, why is there a light in the fridge.

In light of COVID-19 mandates, MT Sunrise Rotary will be hosting virtual meetings until further notice. Our next meeting will be 7:00 AM Friday (7/3).

Our virtual program will feature Lucia Francis who will update us on Rotary International's position on Diversity and Racism.

The virtual greeter will provide either the thought, a Rotary minute, share a family moment or a cultural tradition ... anything they would like to start off the day positive.

• Mike Meinolf (7/3)
• Brian Monroe (7/10)

Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis

Rotarian Dawn Heath has been conducting Summits on Human Trafficking for the past several years, presenting to communities, schools, and Rotary groups.

She has now developed a Virtual Summit, and will be conducting the first one on Thursday, July 9th. The attached flyers give all the details on times and how to register. This would be an excellent opportunity to involve your club, both by inviting your members to attend, and by also inviting school and local community leaders to participate. The Summits have been well received, timely, and very informative, and this is a chance to spread the word to those we serve.

Feel free to distribute as you wish. I don't believe that there is a limit on participation. If you have questions, Dawn's contact information is listed below.

Hoping to "see you there".

By Elizabeth P. Directo, Rotary Club of Camp Aguinaldo, Philippines

Knowing that many people have lost their jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic, incoming club presidents in our district (3780) were looking for a way to spread a little bit of hope to those who lacked it. So we partnered with a mobile kitchen, run by the Armed Forces of the Philippines, to make and distribute meals for residents in need.

Since we started the joint effort two months ago, Rotary members, volunteers and the military personnel onboard the mobile kitchen have fed thousands of people a day in areas such as in Quezon City, San Juan, Malabon, Marikina, and Manila. We will soon be sending the kitchen to Barangay Pinagbuhatan and Parañaque City.

The government of the Philippines issued a statement that “no Filipino will be left behind in this battle against COVID-19.” This is our way of supporting that effort. We are also feeding workers who have been stranded because of the virus, students who are living on little or no financial support, residents of informal settlements, and families living in poor communities.

The mobile kitchen relies mostly on donations in-kind and cash from different organizations including Anghel ng Masa, Midnight Manna, United Off Roaders, and the Tzi Tzu Foundation to name a few. Our members, who have also donated funds, are volunteering side-by-side with these inspiring people from the armed forces and partnering organizations.

Rotary members are at their best during challenging times, and we have never been prouder to be Rotarians than right now.
