The Plymouth Sunrise Rotary continued their annual tradition yesterday of donating and handing out turkeys for Thanksgiving to the residents at Algonquin Heights.  Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!

 

Donation of $10,000 to South Shore Community Action Council!

It was an incredibly special morning for us as we were able to present our donation check of $10,000 to South Shore Community Action Council.  The donation represents what was raised from our wiffle ball tournament in memory of our dear friend and Rotarian, Bob McMakin.  What made this morning even more meaningful was that we were able to present this check with Bob's wife Kathy. (Bob's impact on all of us in the club and community will always be remembered. . .)
