Welcome to this week’s meeting of the eClub of the State of Jefferson.
Hello, eClub Members! Welcome to our weekly meeting.
On the 18th of June I arrived in Massachusetts and plan to be here for the next few months. Sometime in the next few weeks we are going to go see the tall ships in Boston Harbor, then we are going to go to upper New York State to visit family, and sometime between the end of July and September we are going to go up to the Canadian side to see the Niagara Falls. Otherwise, we’re just going to hang out in the suburbs of Boston. It’s so nice to be a member of the State of Jefferson Rotary eClub, where you can live or be anywhere, and participate in a Rotary Club on your time.
During our June 2026 board meeting the board was informed that we will be receiving another District Grant to go towards our ongoing project of providing solar lights to people without electricity in the Navajo Nation. The next installment will be held sometime this coming fall. If you are interested in participating in this project, please contact Roger Allen. Jean Hamlton and I participated in the spring installation of 2024. What a great experience that trip was!
Unfortunately, we did not receive the second District grant request for the Pakistan sewing machines. Maybe next year.
Well, I have two more weeks as your eClub President. Thanks again for all your support throughout this past year. Special thanks to Bob (Gibson), Bruce, Patti, Obaid, Bill, and Geoff. What a great team of volunteers you all have been when I needed advice or to look up past history. You made my term as president slide through without any major hick-ups. Again, Obaid will begin his term as President on July 1, 2026. Please help him out whenever he needs it.
I can’t end this without saying, “Jean (Hamilton), I miss you every day. You were a very dedicated Rotarian especially to our eClub for so many years. We all miss you.
I hope you enjoy today’s program and tech support, and don’t forget about attending our Coffee Chats every Tuesday.
Yours in Rotary, Jackie
Jackie Oakley
2025-2026 Club President
The Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships.
The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
Of the things we think, say or do
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
