Thank you to everyone who came out on another very wet and rainy day to join us for our Rotary meeting last Tuesday! Our guest speaker was fellow Rotarian Dan Munsey, Fire Chief/Fire Warden of the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District. Dan provided us with a very thorough presentation about Measure W, which is on the ballot for the upcoming March 5th election. After failed attempts in the past, this measure is another effort to eliminate a special property tax that supports and helps fund the County Fire Protection District. The parcel tax is about $172 per year and brings in over $47 million annually, which is a significant funding source for the fire service. This tax only applies to those who reside in Fire Protection District 5, which includes the City of San Bernardino. If this funding source is lost, the Fire Protection District will have some difficult decisions to make regarding how to continue to provide outstanding service to our communities. Remember, a “no” vote keeps the tax and funding in place for the County Fire Protection District while a “yes” vote would eliminate the tax and funding. Please make your voice heard on this and other very important topics as we vote at the polls on March 5!
As you know, February is Black History Month and as Rotarians, we honor the contributions and legacy of Black Americans across history in the fields of industry, politics, science, culture, and more. We especially celebrate the countless achievements of Black Americans who have moved our country forward in the pursuit of freedom and justice for everyone, including civil rights pioneers such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks.
Two years after Russian forces invaded Ukraine, Rotary members around the globe continue to raise funds and send medicine, fuel, and other essential supplies to those affected by the conflict.
