It will soon be that time - when you hear that ding-a-linging at the doorway of nearly every business in town. Every year, nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army in the form of meals, shelter, after-school programs, job referrals, youth shelter intervention programs, rehabilitation services, and more.
The gifts you help collect through the Red Kettle will enable these local Salvation Army programs and services to continue providing help and hope to those in need.
For a number of years, the Rotary Club of Beaumont has been one of the many organizations that tend a booth at Parkdale Mall and participate in the collection process. It is a demonstration of "Service Above Self." Shannon Williamson is our Chair and asks you to sign up in advance for the hour(s) you can help on Saturday, December 6.
We need you! There are still several hours without a volunteer to help, Please go to the online sign-up or add your name to the paper list at the next meeting. Thank you for helping.
Wondering what to give a friend or neighbor at this gift-giving time of the year? A subscription to "Show Your Colors" flag project is a perfect fit, and it will be enjoyed year-round!
Call the Rotary Office and we will help you with all the arrangements to get a subscription set up for 2015 delivery.
The Layette Committee wants to expand the project to include a specially made bag for a mother and her baby in Nicaragua that will be a "gift" from you to honor or recognize a friend or relative.
Your $50 donation to the Beaumont Rotary Foundation will underwrite a layette bag that will provide what is needed for healthy, loving care of an infant.
Please give your gift (checks payable to the Beaumont Rotary Foundation) and pick up a card you can give to the person you honor with your generous gift. If you prefer, you can pay online with your credit card by using the "Layette Bag" button on the bottom of our donation page (click here to access).
For questions, phone Bel Lamb or the Rotary Office.

Congratulations, Craig Escamilla of our Club and Rebekah Maxwell of the Beaumont Rotaract on being named to the distinguished group known as the 2014 Southeast Texas 40 Under 40! We are proud of you!
The new invoicing process by Rotary International guarantees we will be assessed dues for anyone on the membership roles on January 1, without exception or adjustment. Therefore, the Board of Directors voted to take a more stringent stance on the Club's collections.
Invoices for January - June 2015 dues were sent and payment is due by December 31. If you did not receive your copy or need another sent to you, please phone the office at 409-842-1913.
Sponsor ads appear on the website continuously and are included in the sidebar of the RotaryGrams each week. One will be spotlighted weekly to express our appreciation.
