Homeless Connect Day
Thank you to for helping with Homelessness Connect Day (Tuesday, Oct. 14th/08). Remember Adele...before and after. The message below is one of the reasons why we are Rotarians!

Thank you to everyone who volunteers their time to help at meetings, sit on the Board, Chair a Committee, plan an event, or perform a Community Service, International project and continue our fight against Polio. The small things do make a difference!
Cheryl McKeever, President
First off I want to thank everyone that participated today! I wanted to share a couple of things that I personally heard.
"I am walking on Million Dollar Feet"
" I am so full and I can't remember having such a good meal"
" I was treated like a person and you made me feel so good about myself"
"Thank you for caring"
" It was meant to be I was scheduled to go to treatment today and it got cancelled and then I found you"
"This is the first time that I have been able to wash my hair in two months"
"God bless you for caring"
I was just in the middle of typing this email and I received a call from Joyce Lissimore. Adele the blonde lady that came in and had her make up done and then had her hair cut called to say thank you for treating her like a real person! We made her feel so good that she is seriously considering contacting Kathleen to enter Glory House for rehab. So while our numbers may not have been the best I truly believe that we did make a difference and "Connected with a few"
Once again thank you so much for taking the time to care!
