Grundy County Health Department Administrator Elizabeth Gibson presented the program at the Thursday, Sept. 3 meeting of the Trenton Rotary Club.
Phil Hoffman presided at the meeting and led the pledge to the U.S. flag.
Ms. Gibson spoke to members via teleconference and updated the club on the COVID-19 situation in Grundy County. She told of the spike in case numbers over the past week, noting that there is not any one event that can be attributed to the increase. She said the virus has affected individuals of all ages and while there have been very few hospitalizations, many have been ill for several days. She noted that case number increases are also being seen in surrounding counties. She said that if a person feels ill, they should stay home and if COVID symptoms develop, they should consult with their doctor to determine if testing should be done.
During the business meeting, final plans were made for the club’s annual fish fry, which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 12. The event will be a drive-through at the FFA cookshack (located west of the Rock Barn) and will take place from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Cars should enter from Oklahoma Avenue and will be directed to exit onto 12th Street after getting their meal. The cost is $8 for adults and $5 for children, with proceeds being used for the club’s Rotary International project.
The next meeting of the club will be on Thursday, Sept. 10 at the First Christian Church fellowship hall.
