DUXBURY ROTARY CLUB
Wednesday, December 6, 2017
 
Steve will be preparing a list of gifts for children assembled by Housing Solutions indicating who has not been chosen for gifts.
 
The Holiday Party to be held at Alden Park in Plymouth from 6:30 – 8:30 PM has about twenty people attending.
 
Gifts to Razia’s Ray of Hope will be matched up to $200,00.00.  Duxbury Rotary’s gift is in the works.
 
Now is the time for gifts to Polio Plus because the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will double the amount that we give.  A check has been prepared to send.
 
New Years Eve for the Senior Center will be on Dec. 29, 11:00 AM – 2:30 PM.  The Center could use help preparing food on Thursday evening and Friday morning.  It seems that Chef Peter is on vacation and someone’s specialty is spaghetti and meatballs to fill in.
 
The place mat ad drive will wrap up by early January.  $2,650.00 has been raised so far.  It is possible that it could go to $3,000.00.  Keep working.
 
Fred is looking for suggestions to interest “more attendance” (secret words) at the meetings.  A Million Dollar meal with pot luck food prepared by members and more speakers were mentioned.
 
The next regular meeting will be Jan. 10, 2018.
 
MEMBERSHIP:  Fred reported that Abdul has returned to the hospital.  Fred will be sending flowers from the club.  A note was received from Ann thanking the club for the care and concern shown for Abdul.
 
FINES/RAFFLE: Bob H. collected the fines and Steve won $10.00 in the raffle.
