We will be meeting at The Pirates House this Friday in our normal meeting room - Captain Flints Hall. The side door to the room will be unlocked if you would prefer to use that entrance.
Our speaker for the meeting this week is Dr. Stephen Blackwood with Ralston College which is a small liberal arts college in Savannah.
Dr Stephen Blackwood will be speaking about the revival of higher education amidst the challenges and opportunities currently facing Western civilization.
RCSE looks forward to seeing all members and guests on Friday!
This past week, President Andrew Cosey attended the District Conference where Rotary Club of Savannah East was awarded the Bronze Club Award! Way to go RCSE! Andrew praised previous leadership of the club for the ability to win this award. Before the presentation by visiting Rotarians from Serbia, Andrew and our visitors participated in a flag exchange.
Vladimir Matic presented on how global grants from District 6920 are making an impact on children in Serbia. He started by showing us photos of how the money has been used with elementary school age children. The grants have allowed them to purchase mBots which are educational robots for students to use for hands on learning for STEAM education. The grants also aid in basic education and literary. Vladimir said that the children in Serbia speak excellent English! Another grant project is one that has allowed a local district to purchase incubators for premie babies which has helped decrease the mortality rate of babies who are born prematurely. He then talked about all the benefits that the global grants have provided for Serbia with the main one being making new Rotary friends with Rotarians from Georgia.
