Family of Rotary:
- A short update on Sandy and Jane MacKay: Jane is presently in a community bed (Room 311) in St Josephs Home. She has influenza, but would appreciate a text or perhaps a visit in the future. Sandy is currently in the MH Hospital (5 West, Room 190) after a fall at home. He also has influenza, but if you are willing to gown and mask up, he would enjoy a visit.
Please keep a Board Member informed about members health and/or any other changes, so that information can be provided to the club through the Weekly News.
