Rotary Quick Impacts Info & Sign-Up

Background

Quick Impacts (QI), originating in the Breakfast Group early in COVID, is now a club-wide initiative identifying and linking members to existing community service opportunities that:

Can be completed in a day or less (Quick) and make a positive difference in our community and our members’ fellowship (Impact)
Align with our Rotary missions
Could benefit from a small group (4-6) Rotarians helping out as a group and ideally in Rotary regalia such as Rotary hat, face mask, and/or shirt.

These will be listed in 2 places consistently (Crablines & our website) with the date, event name, and a safe, Rotary-created link to more details and sign-up.

Are you affiliated with a local community organization?

Let us know and we’d love to touch base with you about how Quick Impacts could align with some of their volunteer needs.

Contact Carol at: cgausz@blueheronassociates.com or 302-388-5301.

If you already know of a community need for which you’d like a small group of fellow Rotarians to help,

Contact us at: RCAQuickImpacts@gmail.com

... and we will help recruit a small group of other Rotarians to work with you. We will help create the sign-up link and connect it to Crablines and our Rotary Club website.
