World Peace & Understanding Dinner CALL TO ACTION!

Posted by Christina Harris on Feb 17, 2017

Two weeks ago, many gathered for The World Peace and Understanding Dinner! We heard from Sam Khatib, a leader and activist in the Syrian American community on the Syrian Refugee crisis.

We also had the honor of Skyping with one of the outrageously brave volunteers from White Helmets in Aleppo (visit WhiteHelmets.org for more information).

Thanks to all who brought clothing donations for Syrian Refugees. It took 5 car loads to deliver them to a sorting site!

Well done, but keep em' coming, we have a container to fill! We'll be collecting through the month of February at the collection sites listed in the flyer below. You can also check NuDaySyria.com for additional locations.

It was a rather difficult topic, but once again - Rotarians proved that we are people of compassion and action!
