Once again the Rotary Club of New Orleans will partner with Kingsley House-Columbia Parc and NOPD to sponsor the School Supply Backpack Project to provide school supplies for low income children in our community. All members are encouraged to help make this project a huge success by filling a backpack with school supplies from the supply list or donating money to purchase backpacks and supplies. Backpacks and supply lists are available at the Wednesday meetings. Filled backpacks should be returned no later than August 7th for distribution on August 10th.
Backpacks and school supply lists are available at the Wednesday meeting.
The neutral ground is located on Poydras Street between Tchoupitoulas Street and South Peters Street. The Rotary signs make it easy to see where you need to go. Two or three Rotarians are scheduled each week, but you can get creative and have others help if you wish. If you cannot work during the scheduled week, try to switch off with someone else. During your week, the deal is to pick up trash or broken limbs you find on the neutral ground. You can bring your own garbage bag and gloves. The trash pick up takes less than 15 minutes but be careful on the busy street. After you are finished, just throw the garbage bag into one of the public trash containers on Poydras Street.
Week of 08/05/19 Andre Rubenstein, Scott Samford
Week of 08/12/19 Bob Sharp, Susan Simon
During the year, we will arrange to do more gardening work on the neutral ground and go to lunch afterward.
REMEMBER that in addition to keeping up this stretch of Poydras Street, this is a great way to get to know your fellow Rotarians. Also, if you cannot perform your assigned task think about getting a group of younger folks to handle it for you. They can be Interactors, high schoolers looking for community service hours or just folks looking for a way to get involved.
