It was a difficult year due to the Covid-19 shutdown.  Meetings were held online using Zoom, until about May when we could resume our meetings at the Woman,s Club.  Covid also limited some of the normal local service projects and interaction with the students at Lincoln High School. 

 

We advocated for and helped fund Project Cornerstone, an elementary school program that includes and focuses on literacy, champions asset building, mentoring, self-confidence and a bi­lingual program.  We successfully participated in a Global Grant to provide potable water to a small village in Chapala, Mexico.  Our Club and individual members donated to a program for scholarships for elementary, middle and high school students in public schools in Chapala.  

Several members worked tirelessly to establish a 501(c)2 LRC Properties, Inc. organization to hold title to the properties being given to us by the Robert Dart Trust established by former Rotarian Robert Dart (~1952-2002).  We also started receiving rent from the houses in the Trust, awaiting final transfer of the property early in the next year.   A club committee was established to determine what we do in the future with the properties.
