Volunteering at Garrett Morgan High School
We have been working with Garett Morgan High School helping their students obtain their OMJ Seal, which they need to graduate. It's February and we are heading into the final stretch. In summary: 45 students have completed the OMJ Seal and 21 students need it. It is these 21 that we are targeting for the remainder of February.
We have created a Signup Genius, and are targeting 6 spots per session
On February 8th, the Rotary Club of Cleveland was honored by the Achievement Centers for Children with their "Agency's Champions for Achievers" award. Three Cleveland Rotarians founded this organization 85 years ago, and we have stayed steadfast in supporting their mission.

American Red Cross Blood Donor Day, March 27, 2025
The American Red Cross is experiencing an emergency blood shortage
The nation faces the lowest number of people giving blood in 20 years. Blood and platelet donations are needed now to help alleviate the shortage and ensure lifesaving medical procedures are not delayed.
Over the last 20 years, the number of people donating blood to the Red Cross has fallen by more than 40%.
Additional challenges lie ahead as winter weather and seasonal illnesses like the flu and COVID-19 may compound the dire blood supply situation the nation currently faces.
Blood products are currently going to hospitals faster than blood donations are coming in. In recent weeks, the Red Cross has had to limit distributions of some of the most transfused blood types to hospitals.
Make an appointment to give blood or platelets now by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visitingRedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
