The Rotary Club of Excelsior’s August Service Project is to join Resource West’s Back-to-School Supply Drive from July 29th to August 12th.

Community Service Coordinator Karen Frazier is asking member to do two things:  

    First we will donate all of the Happy Bucks from the July 29^th meeting (Tomorrow) to the Back-to-School Supply Drive.  So please come ready to make a generous donation during Happy Bucks! 

    Secondly, please bring new school supplies to the Club Meeting on July 29^th, August 5^th and/or the 12^th.  Attached please see the flyer from Resource West to promote the Back-to-School Supply Drive.  Supplies needed include New Backpacks, 2-Pocket Folders, Single Subject Notebooks, Loose Leaf Paper, Colored Pencils (12 pack), Plastic Rulers, Washable Markers (10 Pack) and Glue Sticks.

    “Let’s send these needy students back to school with the basic tools they need to be successful” says Karen.  “Can you imagine what it would be like to show-up for school and to see that all the other kids have their new school supplies and that you have nothing.  That is heartbreaking.  Let’s not let it happen to one child this fall.  Please donate until it feels good.  Each of our donations is a small price to pay for the education of a child which is priceless.  Thank you”
