The Zoom link is below. In an abundance of caution, the board opted to cancel the in-person portion of our next meetings because of the rising cases of COVID-19, but we will still meet as a club on Zoom. 
The Speaker for this meeting will be: Scott Marshall, Interim Town Manager for Bluffton. Scott will give us an update on what is happening in the town, and we will have some time after his presentation for some questions.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES - ROCS IS ON MARCH 6
ROTARIANS OFFERING COMMUNITY SERVICE (ROCS) is scheduled for Saturday, March 6, 2021.  Projects include a number of familiar locations and activities, but there are a couple of new options including a virtual project or two in response to COVID concerns.

Please review the available projects at the sign-up link, https://signup.com/go/vymddcq and volunteer to participate in this important Community Service Club Initiative as you are able - one minor clarification, the outdoor window and door cleaning will be at Deep Well.  As always the other Area 4 Clubs will be participating and you are welcome to invite friends and family to participate (just be sure to include them in your sign-up)

Local non-profits need our support more than ever as they provide their needed services during this challenging time. - and the projects are always a pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning.
MAYFEST 2021 CANCELLATION NOTICE
This is the cancellation message from FaceBook which we posted last week:
 
WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THE CANCELLATION OF THE 2021 MAYFEST DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
Mayfest, also known as The Bluffton Mayfest, is considered one of the best hometown festivals in the country and this year would have been the 43rd Anniversary of the festival. We are sad to cancel this long-standing event; however, we do so with the safety and health of our community in mind. We know better days are coming, and when they do, we promise we will be ready to host our hilarious Ugly Dog Contest, our very messy Pie-Eating Contest, play some great music, serve some tasty food, and feature some great local and regional artists. We look forward to better days ahead and to hosting Mayfest in 2022.
 
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT VIDEO: FEATURING JOHN ANDERSON--CHECK OUT THE VIDEO ON FACEBOOK
We've started a new club member video appreciation series called: Member Spotlight. Our first appreciation and spotlight video recognized John Anderson for all his work for the club and the community over the years. In the video, Joanie Iaco, club president, interviewed John so we can get to know him a little better, and she thanked him for his service. The video is on the club's Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/blufftonrotary
