Thanks for letting me talk about the Foundation.  I’d like to reinforce a few giving opportunities we discussed that are available to Buffalo Grove Rotarians.  1) If you’re NOT a Paul Harris Fellow, your donation of $250 will be matched by $250 from the club’s foundation, and then again with points from the Blane Foundation, to get you there; 2) If you ARE a Paul Harris Fellow, your donation of $250 or more will be matched by Foundation Recognition Points from Rob Seitz, to move you towards the next level;  3) Any single donation of $500 or above made to PolioPlus before June 30^th will be matched in cash by the Blane Foundation. 

Making a Difference at Feed My Starving Children

On December 26th, members of the Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove volunteered at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) in Libertyville, Illinois. This event was an opportunity to help provide food for children around the world who face hunger every day.

At FMSC, we worked together as a team to pack specially designed meals that help malnourished kids get the nutrition they need to grow and thrive. These meals, called MannaPacks, are made with a blend of rice, soy, vegetables, and essential vitamins and minerals. In just a few hours, our group of Rotarians, family members, and friends packed hundreds of these meals, demonstrating the power of collective effort.
