President Oesmann announced that at the September 9, 2020 Board meeting, a motion was approved to provide up to a $500 match of funds to support the needs of Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. The school needs includes classroom supplies, protective equipment, and help for food insecure families. It was suggested members contribute money they would normally have used for a month's worth of meeting attendance or just as a donation to support this effort.

 

Send your checks payable to Morning Star Rotary to  Treasurer Jean Searfoss 1409 Bogie Avenue Wescosville, PA 18106; or press the DONATE button on the website for credit cards and designate TJ ELEMENTARY.

 

We have exceeded $1,000 but are still hoping for more which will be very helpful to the students at TJE! Thank you all for your support.
