It takes so many people in Breakfast Rotary to make our machine go, but that’s why we are members. We love to help, we are a moving machine, and it gives me great honor to be a part of so many good members. One of those members is Kathy Andersen Berry. Kathy is heading up the Salvation Army Christmas Bell Ringing. As you know this is an annual event that Breakfast Rotary has taken the reigns on for a number of years. The date for the ringing will be December 5th. Details coming via email and posted on www.bbrc.org
Kathy also is calling on volunteers to meet at the Boys and Girls Club 801 Niles Street, Tuesday, November 26th at 4 pm to package Thanksgiving Baskets/Boxes for families in need. Mindy Wilmot happily took contributions from club members wishing to donate, and she collected a whopping $569! Denise Haynes and Kathy will purchase additional food items to add to those brought in today by club members. Pete “Pie Man” Leveroni will provide major support with the contribution of pies. Our Foundation will be donating all the turkeys to the cause. Man-O-Man, do you see why it is so fun to be a Breakfast Rotarian!
“Woody” Dave Spalinger is hosting, and boasting, that Breakfast Rotary will have our Christmas Party, Friday December 6th at his home.

One of my all-time Breakfast Rotary favorites is our Annual Rotary Christmas Shopping at East Hills Target…set for December 14th. For those of you that have not participated, this is the perfect opportunity for you TO SPEND OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY! Yes, even though it is from our budget, you are taking the time to make this morning special to a deserving child and their family. All that you do is help a child to choose and wrap Christmas gifts (along with Interact students who come along to assist all of you grown Breakfast Rotary Christmas elves). To participate, simply show up at the East Hills Target at 6:50am as shopping will begin just after 7am. We will have an hour to shop before the store opens to the general public.
Our upcoming Fremont Elementary School dictionary distribution to 3rd grade students is quickly approaching. For details see Denise Haynes or Michele McClure. Date to be determined.
