Last week Diane Christell from the Society for the Preservation of Human Dignity attended our meeting to accept our donation to her agency through the community grant program. To learn more about the good work that they do, see http://sphd.org
Also, member Glenn Meier became a four time Paul Harris!! Thank you Glenn for your support of the Rotary Foundation!!
For the past 25+ years, our club along with the Wheeling club has been involved with getting food (and sometimes clothing, and games) to some of the neediest families in the BG and Wheeling area.
For the Past month we have been collecting food. We will also be purchasing food thru budgeted monies from each club and a matching grant from our district. Each family will also get a Food gift card and a game.
Now we need some man/woman power. The following will be taking place at the BG arts center on Monday Nov 9 from 4pm-8pm, on Tuesday Nov 10 from 4pm-8pm, and on Nov 14 from 8am-noon. On Monday we will be sorting the food, on Tuesday we'll be boxing the food, on Saturday we'll be distributing the food.
Please help. On Saturday high school students from BG HS and Stevenson HS will help with the delivery. These students will be accompanied by 2 adults in each car. Last year we were short on adults. Of course you can bring your kids/grandkids. It's a very good charity learning experience.
Additionally if you would like to donate food you can bring it to any Rotary lunch or drop off at Denny Snyder's office.
Cash is also welcome. If you prefer cash make a check payable to the Buffalo Grove Rotary Foundation and give the check to Snyder. This way you can take a tax deduction and we can purchase food with no sales tax.
