The second last day of Rotary Radio Week saw Rotary Club President Wanda Sime join Al Gaines.

They talked about how COVID-19 has affected the Rotary Club.

Sime, who’s been club president since the end of June, says COVID affected them from the start with isolation.

“So we weren’t able to gather together, cause we gather weekly, fundraisers were changed, we had to change our meeting place. We discovered Zoom, like the rest of the world, and with that, we learned a little bit about some of the challenges with online life.”

Sime has been a part of the Rotary Club for about 5 years now and the international reach of the club is what surprised her the most.

“It’s a community across the world and that’s something we’ve been able to really look into during COVID as well. With the challenge of not being able to meet in person that we were facing at one point, we were using Zoom. Well, with Zoom, that means you can get people across the world.

Sime has attended meetings in Texas and Mexico because Rotary is everywhere.
