The symposium announced for Friday, 13 March could not be held because of the corona virus. Thank you for the technical support that we can still send you a summary of the presentations. This link will provide you with all the essential information that we wanted to give you in Basel.
At the same time we will send you the signature sheet for the signing of the petition that Rotary International is to hand over. The aim is to make MARE NOSTRUM an international project, like Polio Plus at present. We would be grateful if you collect as many signatures as possible within the Rotary Family, i.e. from Rotarians*, Rotaractors*, Innerwheelers. Deadline is 30 April 2020.
The Rotary Club of Arlesheim has already created a fund to receive donations. Your donation is also very welcome. We invite you to make suggestions on how these funds should be used. Should they be spent regionally, nationally or internationally? Should MARE NOSTRUM be run as a foundation, association or continue as a fund? Write us your opinion!
As you can see, we cannot be defeated by a virus and we would be pleased if we could continue to work on this project together with you. The symposium will be held in autumn 2020. We hope that by then we will have made much progress with the initiative and will be able to present concrete steps.
Many thanks and hopefully see you soon in Basel.
