Last week's actions
Last week we heard from Anil Srivatsa about the Gift of Life. Anil is a rotary and military brat and has found purpose in his life after a 30 year old checkered corporate and entrepreneurial career.  He now spends a 1/4 of his time in a year driving around the world championing the cause of Organ Donation with a goal of reaching a million people with this message of compassion and fighting fear for love. He has traveled across 44 countries by road telling his story to over 127K people via over 550 talks and spoken at over 100 rotary clubs urging them to take on organ donation projects. To facilitate this he has started a motley crew of 50 plus Rotarians and established a Rotary Action Group for Organ Donation. The club voted to donate $100 from the foundation to his cause.
 
Our Member of the Month is John Cave.
John joined Rotary back in 2018 based upon a ad in the local newspaper. He found friendship and the opportunity to serve the community. John is married to Debbie, and they have two sons in the local area. They choice Melissa as it is close to both families and close to volunteer opportunities.  John volunteers with his wife at Meals on Wheels, helping in the kitchen on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
