Help The Interactor Club Help Ronald McDonald House
We are scheduled to provide transportation for the Rotary Interact Club members to Ronald McDonald House (RMH-7726-107 Street, Edmonton) on Friday February 15th from Percy Page High School (2707 Millwood Road). There are no RMH events scheduled for January.
We will pick up the Interact Club members at 3:30 PM at their school and take them to RMH. We will pick them up at RMH at 7:00 PM and deliver them back to Percy Page High School.
You are very welcome to stay with the Interact Club at Ronald McDonald House for the “Home for Dinner” preparation, serving and clean up, or just return for the pickup to take them back to their school. The exact menu for dinner will be determined at the next Rotary Interact meeting scheduled for Thursday February 7th, and we can pick up the required groceries on the day of the event.
We have approximately 30 Interact Club members this year, and anticipating that we will have 20 to 25 students going on the February 15th trip.
Please confirm if you are able to drive on February 15th for the pickup and/or drop off at the school on the day, and how many passengers you can take in your vehicle.
I have confirmed with the Edmonton Public School Board that any Rotary drivers that have received the school and police security check and clearance for the 2011-2012 school year do not require any additional clearance for the 2012-2013 school year.
We have confirmed other dates for this group to travel and provide Home for Dinner programs at RMH. These are March 15 and April 18 2013.
We are looking for more drivers from our Rotary Club to meet this increase in Interact Club membership and to provide coverage if any of our current approved drivers are not available. Jarrod can you please make this announcement at our next meeting, and Ken can you please put this request in our Rotary Club Newsletter.
I am going to be out of town on February 15th , and Ken Germain has volunteered to take the lead as the representative from the Rotary Club of Edmonton Strathcona on this project.
We will have some members of the Percy Page Rotary Interact Club join us at our regular club luncheon on Tuesday January 29th, as they are off school that week. They plan to make a short presentation to our Rotary Club on their activities and projects for this school year. We will advise this Rotary Club Drivers Group how many students will require a ride on that day, and we will determine how many vehicles we will require. We will pick the Rotary Interact members up at their school at 11:30 AM and will drop them off at 1:45 PM.
Thanks very much to everyone for their support and help.
Yours in Rotary,
Eric
