Rotarians heard about kids at our local school that might not have holiday gifts this year. So community members and Rotarians "passed the hat" and put together some goodies for them.
Bigfork Rotarians supplied 2 days of volunteers to host the Salvations Army's red bucket campaign this past week at Harvest Foods. Pictured are Joni Isaman (our resident elf!), Jeanie Deetz and Beverly Ferguson. Normally outside, this year's freezing temperatures drove the campaign inside the store.

Last Saturday's Rotary movie night event at the BCPA was a huge success with local Bigforkian, David Ogden, introducing and enlightening attendees about "The Lincoln Lawyer". Some fabulous intermission desserts were made and sold by Rotarians and members of the Bigfork Interact Club. The Bigfork HS culinary class also contributed 3 desserts. The author, Michael Connelly donated signed DVDs and books for Rotary! Lets do it again soon!
Middle School coordinated a project to bring together care package items for men and women serving overseas. Representative, Josie Howlett, from the student council presented our club with their project a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, members brought in items like packaged snacks, batteries and sundries to bring to the Middle School. They will be sent off in time to arrive for Valentines Day. Pictured here is Matt Porrovecchio, Rotarian from the Bigfork School System loading his truck up with the club donations.

Our club became aware last year that there were a number of high school students that were considered homeless... meaning they didn't have a stable, consistent home to live in. Many change from a friends couch to a relatives spare room, or even sleep in their cars. This can happen for many reasons. These young people rarely have a meaningful holiday and certainly not loving gifts. So, our club got together and worked with a trusted member of the high school staff to create seven big gift packages for these kids filled with gift cards and assorted fun stuff. We hope they feel special and loved by the Bigfork community!
