I am thinking of drawing a background sketch of our local town with caricatures of some of our members and others in the foreground, together with a brief history of our town and surrounding area. The sketch may give us the personal touch between clubs in R.I. and bring a much needed smile to folks in these unhappy times.
Taking the idea a bit further other clubs could do the same, and could we not raise much needed funds if we asked members to download, if they so wished, for a nominal sum  CLUB; Diss & District . 1080 (No. 19176) Norfolk, England.
    
 Looking after International Uni students. They normally have part time jobs but not at the moment and are struggling. 
    
Childhood Photos on line or at meetings. Idea is for members of a club to privately submit a childhood or baby photo. These are published amongst members and then a competition held for all members to correctly guess who is the member in the photo. Probably great for an on line meeting.
    
Peace Building Club. Clubs should work towards becoming a Peace Building Club. Big tick in the box for a Foundation activity. Easy to achieve.

Friday drinks with your club members- pure social and chat.
    
Members to do a cooking demonstration with each member showing their favourite recipe. After the meeting they can be collected and published in a book to aid fundraising.
    
Castlemaine: So far we have matched up around 60 residents at Castlemaine Health with a pen pal over the next few months while they are not receiving visitors. That’s about half. Some Rotarians have been joined by members of the community and their family and friends who are excited to have an opportunity to correspond with residents who have an amazing history, scientists and ballerinas just to name a few interesting back-grounds!
