Teacher Appreciation Day
This meeting is one of our very special events for the year. The inspiration and birth of this program was by our own Ken Moulton, and his name and recognition was mentioned by virtually every speaker who took the microphone.
Pledge of Allegiance was led by Pegi Ball
Our song was the very appropriate “School Days” led by JB and Carol, a song from 1907!
The program of our entire Rotary meeting is below and tells the story of our valuable and inspirational teachers in the Windsor School District.
Photos from the meeting appear after the program shown below.

Update on COVID information from your Rotary Nurse…..
05/03/22
NEWS:
COVID-19 INFECTIONS RISE IN THE COUNTY BUT DEATHS AND HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE STILL LOW! ICU ADMISSIONS HAVE NOT SPIKED. Please be aware of those who are immunocompromised and continue to apply good hand washing and wear a mask around those who need us to. FDA did approve the first drug treatment for COVID 19 for children younger than 12. Remdesivir or Veklury was approved for pediatric patients 28 days and older and weighing at least 7 lbs for treatment of COVID 19.
COVID UPDATE:
The pandemic is not over so encourage those who have not had their booster to do so. The 2ND booster dose is available for those over 65 or those 50 years old with chronic health conditions. We do still have some of our community members dying (we lost someone in Windsor) and the current wave of cases is tied to the variant BA.2 and a newer variant, BA 2.12.1.
Total Cases: 856,174 (last week 85,413) Recovered: 83,787 (last week 83,320) Active Cases: 897 (last week 1604)
Deaths: 490 (last week 489)
Hospitalized:17 confirmed cases and 3 in the ICU (last week 18 confirmed and 4 in the ICU)
Vaccination information: As of May 1st, 2022, 1,059,926 doses of vaccination have been given to residents in Sonoma County. (last week 1,059,017). We remain at 82% of our population 5 years and older who are fully vaccinated and 7% have had at least one (1) dose.
MASKS:
Regardless of vaccination status, masks are no longer required in most public settings, although Public Health Officials strongly recommend masking in public indoor settings, especially in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces. Masks are now optional on airplanes; however, they are still required in airports and most other forms of public transportation. The CDC is still recommending masks on airplanes so it has now become a personal decision.
Vaccine sites are still open and offering vaccinations and boosters. We continue to encourage everyone eligible for the booster, to get one. We have seen the proof that this prevents disease and hospitalizations and those who still breakthrough have minor symptoms.
