Committee members were asked to attend and support a Rotary presentation scheduled for Jan. 6 by Catherine Rucas, who the transcript identifies as a suicide-prevention coordinator at Samaritan.
According to the meeting description, Rucas will start with general education and stigma-busting around suicide, then summarize Samaritan's internal prevention efforts and her work with the Tri-County Suicide Care Coalition. Committee members noted Rotary provides a cross-section of community leaders and is a useful venue for outreach and partnership.
Members asked about timing and attendance, and several said they would try to attend; one member offered to cover lunches for those who come early to hear the program. The committee encouraged broad community support for the presentation and for follow-up engagement to leverage Rotary's network.
