A couple of thank-yous

Sharing Families

Matt Russell says thanks for the generous response that enable Rotary to cover two families. He wants to remind everyone that gifts need to be delivered to Sharing Families by 12/10. Any gifts can be brought to the 12/7 Rotary meeting, to Matt at FNBRF, or to the Sharing Families HQ on the lower level of the Knight-Barry Building on Second Street during their hours this week (Wed. 12/8 and Thurs 12/9, 9-1 and 4-6; Fri 12/10, 9-noon).

Cards to Shut-ins

Linda Yde collected the 98 cards that we wrote out at our 11/30 meeting. They will be hand delivered to the assisted living facilities. As Randy Cudd noted, the recipients are likely folks who can read cursive handwriting! Thanks to all of the "scribes" from Linda.

Fifth Tuesday Service project!

November 30: Easy-Peasy Service Above Self. Come to this Tuesday’s 7 a.m. Rotary meeting to help us write out cards to residents of local nursing homes. With fifth Tuesdays designated for service, this is a quick and timely opportunity to brighten some days. As a friend said recently, “For people living in nursing homes and assisted living, getting mail is important!”

In addition, we’ll have the chance to learn more about the Sharing Families program. Rose Walker has agreed to come to our meeting to provide a brief overview and history of the organization.

Haitian Relief Services Work in Haiti – UWRF Professor Emeritus Curtis Larson reviewed the incredible challenges facing Haitian Relief Services (Haitianrelief.org).

He discussed the history of HRS work in the community of Ganthier, a community of about 70,000 residents within 50 miles of the capital of Port-au-Prince.
