Last Week's Meeting
Last week our speakers were Rich Rosen, a Wheeling Rotary club member and volunteer with Maot Chitim of Greater Chicago and its executive director, Joellyn Oliff.  The mission of the charity is to assist needy members of the Greater Chicagoland Jewish community with Passover and High Holiday and other food related needs, so that they may observe the holidays and daily life in a traditional and dignified manner.  No one asking for food is refused, regardless of their religion, Joellyn explained.  There is a food delivery on April 2nd that they need volunteers for.  Please see maotchitim.org for details.
