The 2022 5K Race and 1Mile Fun Run was a huge success, the weather was perfect and the runners were many! Thanks go out to Bill Wagner, who chaired the event this year and all the previous years that we've had this fundraiser. Thanks also go out to our sponsors and the volunteers, Rotarians and non Rotarians alike (you know who you are!). We couldn't have done it without your help and dedication! Congratulations to Frank Di Lalla, fellow West Shore Rotary member, who was a participant in the race and came in second in his class. Way to go Frank! More photos enclosed...

Our District 6630 donated monies to pay for 22 complete beds (bedding an all) for the children of Lorain County. On May 14th we cut, sanded, dipped and drilled enough wood for 42 beds! What an achievement for 4 hours of work. The district project this year is to help Good Knights of Lorain County fulfill its mission to give every child a bed to sleep on. Their motto is "Every Child Deserves a Good Night" A good night’s sleep is fundamental to good health, good academic performance, and a positive way of living. Too many children in our community have to sleep on cold, hard floors or in other uncomfortable conditions. Our volunteers do their best to help them, with one bed at a time. We helped build beds at their facility at 1935 Cooper Foster Park Dr., Amherst, OH 44001 on Saturday, May 14th, 2022. It was a good thing!

Shoe Boxes for Children of the Dump in Nicaragua Our club filled 32 boot size boxes at BW3 in Fairview Park on July 10th. Our boxes will to be combined with boxes from other clubs in our District, to be shipped to the children of the dump in Nicaragua, in time for Christmas. The Westlake/Bay club, is in charge of this project district wide and will be organizing the delivery of the boxes to the children personally, with a team of Rotarians this December. Bill Wagner was the chair of the event for our club. Club members and friends chose the age and gender of the child they wanted to buy for and how many boxes for each child. It was so gratifying to know that a deserving child in Chinendega, Nicaragua will be opening a box of school supplies, clothes and toys that we personally shopped for. It warms the heart to help a child. Thank you Bill ,for organizing the event and getting the boxes to where they need to be.

What does Rotary do? Eight little words give us the answer. This is a letter found in the Rotarian magazine, November 2017 issue. Written by Joseph J. Kovarik, Cottage Grove, Minn. RI President Ian H.S. Riseley expressed his concern, in the August president's message, that we have "had a difficult time conveying the scope of our work." Later he asks, "What does Rotary do?" I'd like to offer an answer in just eight words. The compact response is derived from posing three questions: What do we do? Where do we do it? How do we do it? Consider: What do we do? Improve people's lives. Where do we do it? Locally and globally. How do we do it? Through service. Such a mission-minded claim underscores our action orientation. We just observe that we are a leadership organization with a deceptively singular force: Improve peoples lives, locally and globally, through service. We can reduce our statement to six words if we adopt the portmanteau word used by Atlanta's mayor, Kasim Reed, in his speech at the Rotary International Convention: "glocal". Our alternate six-word definition of Rotary could read: Improve peoples lives glocally, through service. Your choice - eight or six words - in our continuing effort to assert the essence of Rotary.
