Service Projects Selection

 
SERVICE PROJECTS ARE NAMED
 
 
Many thanks to the service project committee for their work in selecting worthwhile quarterly projects for the remainder of 2016.
 
 
They recommended and the board approved the following:
 
* 2nd quarter of 2016 (tentatively Saturday, May 21) - FYI Center,
Buckner's outreach program located at Lamar for youth and young adults who were raised in foster care:
     o Paint five rooms
     o Budget - $500 for supplies
* 3rd quarter (August 2016) - Beaumont Children's Museum
     o Construct and paint two walls to enclose a hands-on exhibit space
     o Budget - $500 for supplies
* 4th quarter of 2016 or 1st quarter of 2017 - Women & Children's shelter
     o Refurbish a family room and meeting space.
     o Paint, hang blinds, assemble carpet squares for rugs.
     o Budget - $500 for supplies
     o Timing is dependent on completion of renovation plans.
* Flexible, can be done at any time - Nutrition and Services for Seniors
    o Assemble shelf stable meal boxes
    o Budget - $0
    o This project can be done at lunch, in the evening, on weekends, or whenever we can get a group of Rotarians.  The need is ongoing, so no matter when we schedule it they can use the help.
 
Our work to address these community needs will only be successful if we have the full support of our members. I challenge each of us to make a commitment to work on at least one of them before the end of the year and be prepared to volunteer when the work dates are announced.
