Pass the hat for Holiday of Hope - Holiday of Hope is run by the Children's Advocacy Center. The CAC provides programs for child victims of physical and sexual abuse, along with their families. Many families cannot afford Christmas gifts for their children. During October, we will pass the hat to raise funds to purchase gifts for 9 children. If you would like to donate, but won't be at the meetings, please contact Carol Conover.
October Food Drive - Also, during October, we'll hold a food drive to collect non-perishable food for the East Texas Food Bank. We are looking at a date in early November where the South Tyler Rotary members can volunteer at the Food Bank.
