Thank you from Nutrition and Services for Seniors!
A L-O-N-G expanse of fence built, 15 over-sized planting beds marked, 520 cinder blocks in place and level - all these are some of the tasks completed by the volunteers who worked at Nutrition and Services for Seniors since the first workday back in the early summer months.

Interact and Rotaract clubs are joining together to pack toiletry bags for local youth rescued from human trafficking. Please help by saving small personal care items such as soap, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotion, ponytail bands, combs, and hairbrushes. You can bring donations to any meeting and we will see that it is given to the youth organizations.
The first wine-tasting event to benefit the Beaumont Rotary Foundation and the education projects it funds, "Wine Down With Rotary," took place on Thursday, October 1 at the Beaumont Event Centre and it was a tremendous success! The event served as the weekly meeting obligation for Rotarians, and since we don't normally serve wine at our meetings, it was a very enjoyable one!
Inspired by President Pat Anderson, the event recognized the Board of Managers and raised funds for our education projects. While we are still gathering invoices and working on final numbers, we can report that there were approximately 300 people who enjoyed this first time event.
We are very grateful to the many Rotarians and friends who are sponsors and underwriters for the event. You're the best! The final list is shown below. Please click on image below to see it full screen. Please patronize these businesses if appropriate and otherwise express thanks to those who have personally donated.
