THANK YOU to all that were able to attend the Free Screening of My Ascension.
Thank you for everyone who helped organize the event. Thank you to everyone who worked hard in promoting the film.
It is a very important issue and carries a lot of unwarranted stigma for many people. There is so much work to do within our society to have these conversations and showing this movie was a great step in the right direction. We continue to promote mental wellness and awareness in West Liberty and District 6000!

Welcome to Week 2 of RI’s Month of Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution.
…And the day after Superbowl LVIII….
The news this week is from the Northeastern State of Assam, in India, where the health minister, Keshab Mahanta, inaugurated three state-of-art facilities — a blood bank, an eye hospital and a physiotherapy unit — at the KGMT Hospital, Guwahati, in the presence of DG Nilesh Agarwal, PDGs Manas Chaudhuri, Kalpana Khound and Debashish Das.
The facilities were set up by RID 3240 at around ₹2 crore ($240,876 USD) through a Global Grant project with RID 3282, Bangladesh, as partner. During his tenure as governor in 2019–20, PDG Das initiated the project with $30,000 as a Directed Gift to form a seed fund for the GG project. Past District Governors from the United States and other Rotarians from all the eight clubs in Guwahati contributed to the success of the medical project.
Also note that if your spouse/partner are both members of our club, you are getting 2 copies of the Rotary Magazine, that will change effective January 1, 2021 to where your household will only receive 1 copy now.
