Tuesday Night Service Opportunity
5:30-7:30 at Acorn Grill (Heritage Oaks)
If you've never attended one of our Tuesday Evening of Service events, now's a great time to take the plunge! We're going to pledge some of our time towards uplifting those who are in a fight with cancer.
These evening events are the perfect way for working professionals to see what Northbrook Rotary is all about! It's not easy for everyone to join us for lunch on a weekday, especially if their job takes them away from home. Do you know someone who'd like to come by?
Dinner is optional, and this month we're having our meal before we get to work. So even if your friend wants to sit down with the family before joining us, they can tap in at 6:15 or 6:30 and be home again before 8. Details at this link.
Our Fundraising Chair, Denis Pollina, has an urgent request for our members:
We are two weeks away from the Rubber Ducky Race. As of today, we have collected $14,883 toward our goal of $25,000. Last year we netted approximately $21,000. For us to reach last year's net figure we will need to push the gas pedal to the floor.
