City, Rotary offer additional free CPR/AED training this fall
Free CPR and AED training courses are available to the Plymouth community this fall, thanks to a partnership between the Plymouth Public Safety Department and Rotary Club of Plymouth. The one-hour Heart Safe Plymouth training sessions are open to teenagers and adults who are interested in learning to help save lives. Participants learn hands-only CPR, which teaches chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth breaths, as well as the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). AED devices detect disturbances in the rhythm of a heartbeat and are able to treat them through defibrillation, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.
A reflection of Gratitude for 2017-2018 and a transition into 2018-2019 in celebration of the Rotary Club of Plymouth's 40 Year Anniversary serving people and the planet locally and globally.......
Rotary Club of Plymouth Fundraiser 2018
Score Points for Kids, Education & Community Health is the annual fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Plymouth. Our theme is to use individually numbered, miniature basketballs as our "raffle ticket." The proceeds of this event go to causes that benefit youth, education and community health (through our Heart Safe Program)
With the goal on planting 1.2 million trees between July 1st, 2017-June 30th, 2018 for Rotary as a global organization, the Rotary Club of Plymouth rose to the challenge and planted 39 trees reflecting a tree for our membership. However, this could not be done alone, we enlisted the amazing partner in the City of Plymouth. Not only did the City collaborate in the design and funding, the City Forester researched the proper trees for a area the city located, provided an education on how to plant trees so they thrive and survive after 20 years without roots choking out, and then created educational plaques describing each tree and its value so those walking along the path of the tress could learn about the trees and come to better understand the intelligence of the Plant Kingdom and Mother Earth.
The gift of this movement came from one person, the Rotary International President Ian Reisling. He directed over 1 million people to focus our attention back onto the environment in a way that we could give back easily and effectively to support the planet which supports a species of life each day! These trees not only add beauty to the area they are planted in, but they provide homes for other lifeforms, stabilize the soil, and the root systems clear impurities out of water and restore clean healthy water in lakes, rivers, and all life.
This is a perfect example that when we come together, we evolve together, and Ian and 1.2+ million Rotarians did just that this year! Thanks to all those who serve everyday in infinite ways on a planet who are waking up to the collective truth, we are not separate from each other, including the earth and her kingdoms. The time to recognize and respond to our oneness is now. This is the change we seek! I send gratitude to all who respond to the hearts call to offer some love anywhere it is needed!

In Rotary we are grateful for the annual donations that members contribute, especially those who have made a lifetime out of giving to Rotary so the projects and service done can reach all life, throughout the planet! Two members here are being recognized for their amazing generous hearts!
Thanks!

THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY, SPONSORS, BREWERS, DISTILLERS, AND ROTARIANS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL EVENT LAST SATURDAY WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL AS WE CONTINUE OUR GOAL TO TRAIN 7,000 (4,622 to date) PEOPLE ON RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS OF SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST AND HOW TO RESPOND IN THE MOMENT TO SAVE LIVES!
The Rotary Club of Plymouth continues to close our GAP to 5,000 (4,443 today) trained by June 30th, 2018. Our ultimate goal is 7,000. The following is a picture from a recent training.
If you know of anyone who is interested in being trained please see our upcoming free sessions at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/heart-safe-plymouth-plymouth-rotary-club-tickets-27155834833 We also will come into a local Plymouth business/community event/sporting event at no charge and train the entire group!
In response to the request of Rotary International President Ian Riseley, we have received a grant approval to plant 40 trees in the City of Plymouth, representing our membership as a club. Thanks to the amazing supporters of our September fundraiser and the City of Plymouth who supported our grant process to make this happen!!!!!
It is the Lake Camelot neighborhood (Old Begin Oaks Golf Course) which the City identified. It will be a Rotary Tree Walk with signage reflecting the tree types and education about the trees so those enjoying the nature walk can learn about the environment and Rotary during this walk.
We will be instructed on the proper way to plant the trees, so we get to enjoy and learn from the fun part of the project. This will be a great event to invite family too, and any local environmental group interested in being a part of this, including younger millennials who may have interest in joining our great club.
This past Saturday was another amazing event between the City of Plymouth Police department and the Rotary Club of Plymouth as we were able to come together and provide some wonderful children an opportunity to go Christmas shopping with some officers of our community! Thanks for all those who helped make this a special event!
