With the start of June comes another Rotary monthly theme. In June it is the Rotary Fellowship groups that are celebrated around the world. Did you know there are more than 100 international Fellowships open to all Rotarians? Some of our Summit County members belong to the International Fellowship of Skiing, Biking, Curling, and Bee Keeping. It is a great way to connect with other Rotarians for a fun, engaging and social time!
The RI website has a lot of good information about Fellowships. Check out the links below to view the amazingly diverse nature of these Fellowships. If you don't find a Fellowship in a subject you are passionate about, start one! The following text was copied from the RI website.
What is a Rotary Fellowship group?
Rotary Fellowships are international groups that share a common passion. Being part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends around the world, explore a hobby or profession, and enhance your Rotary experience.
How do I join a Rotary fellowship?
Membership in a fellowship is open to any interested individual. You can contact a fellowship directly by using the links below.
Attend the Rotary International Convention or other Rotary events.
Reach out to district leadership in other countries to build membership.
Apply for official recognition using this online form.
The Town of Dillon has confirmed the three Amphitheatre concert dates where Summit County Rotary will serve as the nonprofit volunteer group. A minimum of 6 volunteers are needed for each of the following concert dates. A new SignUp Genius page has just been created and you may use this online link to register as a volunteer. I hope you will join me in this fun service event where you not only earn money for our charitable projects, you get to enjoy a free concert!
Volunteers do not need to be Summit County Rotarians. Family and friends can work as volunteers for our Rotary club. Volunteers should arrive for their shift, at the front gate, at least 30 minutes before gates are open to the public. This link will take you to the Amphitheatre schedule with more information on the shows.

The Rotary Club of Summit County is seeking host families for the 2023-24 academic year.
Our club will be sponsoring two outbound Summit High School students, going to spend one of the best years of their lives in Sweden and Finland. In turn, we will host two foreign students who will live in our wonderful community and attend SHS next year.
Each student will stay with three different Summit County families, so each host family has a student live with them for three months. It is a fun, educational, eye-opening way to bring the world together and make international connections.
Please consider participating in this life-changing opportunity and youth service by hosting an international student. Contact Youth Exchange chair, Kim Nearpass-Pollack, if you are interested or have questions. She will be happy to provide detailed information. drknearpass@yahoo.com

The Book Club met and discussed "The Song of the Cell."
We have chosen "Good Night, Irene" by Luis Alberto Urrea as our next, fiction book. The reviews say, "This powerful, uplifting, and deeply personal novel is at once a heart-wrenching wartime drama and a moving and graceful tribute to heroic women."
