We'd Love to Hear from You:

Our Quick Impacts (QI) committee is actively reaching out to talk with fellow Rotarians to:

Increase awareness and understanding of QI’s benefits and how you can participate;
Learn of your connection with community causes that might need volunteers and;
Hear ideas you have that might benefit this effort.

If you haven’t yet been contacted by one of us and would like to talk soon, please reach out here RCAQuickImpacts@gmail.com and we will get back to you.

Background:

Launched September 2020, seven QI service events were held September-December.

Objective: Expand our Club’s ability to directly address community needs and serve as a:

Catalyst for increased member[1] access to service opportunities that:
- can be completed in a day or less and
- provide opportunity for fellowship and family involvement.
Connector to community service opportunities that align with our missions.
Compounding effect to broaden and deepen our Club’s:
- relationships with area community organizations’ and
- impact with others on addressing community need.

Great way to introduce someone to Rotary and let them experience with us!

[1] “Member” here is being used in its broadest sense i.e. Rotary, Rotaract, and Interact.

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.

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