One of Rotary's main goals is to educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases. Rotary members have hundreds of health projects underway around the world at any given time. The Rotary Club of Chatham Sunrise is reaching out to the community to promote all Public Health measures for COVID-19 prevention. Our "CK Wear the Mask, Finish the Mask" is built on the "Wear the Mask" program created by Stratford Rotary Club. This CK video was compiled by Katherine Hahn, the Rotary Club of Stratford president. Chatham Sunrise Rotary is appreciative and grateful to the Stratford club for their generosity. The Stratford Rotary Club credits Steve Rae, original "Wear the Mask" music, Michael Fox, production & arrangement, Bob Kalmusky, recording and Stratford musicians, Rico Gerussi (guitar), Alan Joles and Rhonda Lee Stephenson-Read (vocals), Michael Fox (keys), and Bob Kalmusky (bass). CK still shots were taken primarily by Cary Templeman of Lefthanded Marketing, Chatham. Featured are some of Chatham's most recognizable leaders in agriculture, arts, politics, and community service.
We're all in this together....
Remember:
*practice physical distancing
*wash hands often
*wear a mask in public
*always follow the Chatham-Kent Health Unit directives
....together we can beat COVID.
