Welcome Rotarians,
Another great week for the Trenton Rotary! On Saturday, our club delivered 1,200 bags of cereal and 1,008 jars of peanut butter to St. Phillip’s Food Pantry, Fish & Loaves, and the Salvation Army. A huge thank-you to Bill Jasman for writing the grant and Gloria Jabro for organizing the delivery team. And of course, thank you to all the Rotarians who showed up to help. It feels wonderful to make such a meaningful impact in our community.
We also have several important events coming up in December:
- Past Presidents’ Meeting – Dec 1
- Trenton Rotary Christmas Party – Dec 5
- Prayer Breakfast – Dec 5
- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – Dec 12
If you haven’t had a chance to respond yet, please send your RSVP to me.
I also wanted to share a quick personal update. I met with the surgeon last Monday, and she’ll be calling me this Monday after reviewing my case with the Tumor Board. At this time, surgery is scheduled for December 12th. I’m still waiting on details regarding follow-up treatment. I expect to be out for about two weeks, as I won’t be able to use my right arm, but I will keep everyone informed as I learn more.
Looking forward to seeing you on Monday at Truago. Diane from the Red Cross will be our speaker, and we will also present a check to St. Phillip’s Food Pantry.
YIR,
Ronnie
Spring Break - Sunshine Shenanigans
The Spring Break Committee is working hard to make this year’s event our most successful yet!
We need everyone’s help to reach our $40,000 goal. As a reminder, this is our only fundraiser of the year, so every contribution truly makes a difference.
Here’s how you can help:
- Become a sponsor – sponsorships start at just $100
- Invite others to sponsor – friends, colleagues, local businesses
- Donate a gift card (or two!)
- Ask a business to donate a gift card – we can provide flyers to make the request easy
- Donate a basket for our basket raffle
- Donate a bottle of wine or liquor for the Cooler of Cheer
- Buy a raffle ticket – they’re only $25
- Attend the event and bring friends!
With everyone’s support, I am confident we can reach—and even exceed—our goal.
Thank you in advance for your help and enthusiasm!
