Dear Club,
Pat and Stephanie received this email, which is a call to action for individuals from our club who can help. Please note that July 23rd is fast approaching.If you can help, let Pat know ASAP. P.S. This does fall in line with Stephanie's focus on food insecurities as our District Governor.
Dear friends, Our devoted servant, Eve Nucifera, from St. John's Orthodox Church, was admitted to the hospital yesterday and will be there for a while. Please pray for her speedy and complete recovery. She said that she had already purchased sandwich meats and bread for next Wednesday's (the 23rd) meal, which she will be unable to carry out. She has only one assistant and needs a few more volunteers to make the sandwiches and serve them as takeout only. Please let me know if any of you as individuals (not necessarily your whole team) can help out. Hopefully, we won't have to cancel the meal. Thanks so much and enjoy the beautiful weekend.
Many of you have signed up for the committees list, and I do appreciate that. I will be reaching out for one-on-ones to see if we can still fill some missing committee spots. Committees are the backbone of every Rotary Club; ours is no different. If you have not joined two committees, find the ones that interest you most and sign up. If you have any questions or concerns, I am available to help direct you to which committees need help. Many hands make light work, and together, we will achieve more.
