Potsdam Area Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign

Since we won't be doing a hands-on, in-person Potsdam Holiday Fund project this year, we are getting behind an additional holiday community service project.

Our club will be staffing the Potsdam Area Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign on Saturday, Dec. 18, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Potsdam Price Chopper. We envision Rotarians working in pairs (or trios) to make it more fun and promote fellowship.

The shifts are two hours each: 9-11, 11-1, 1-3 and 3-5. (We've already filled 9-11 with two Rotarians and have on, so far, for 11-1.

Potsdam Rotarians can sign up here.

The money collected by the kettle drive in Potsdam stays in the Potsdam area (95% after expenses) and is used to help families in need throughout the year. This falls under our Rotary focus of "saving mothers and children." The Potsdam Campaign is coordinated annually by Kate Mikel of Norwood, who is the Associate Director of Clarkson's Student Success Center. You might remember that in 2019 we awarded Kate our Service Above Self Award.
