Thank You Rotarians for your generosity to support
Sharon Rittenhouse and her family. The funds collected will be used to ease the worries of the family over things Sharon did at the house, or things her husband and three daughters need short term. A meal out, housekeeping, other home chores or whatever they need to get done so they can visit the hospital while Sharon is on the road to recovery. Please keep Sharon in your thoughts and prayers.

Michele shared why she joined our Rotary Club: "Gandhi said, the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. I joined rotary with my husband Bruce, it had been a goal of mine since I was encouraged by a mentor of mine, Dr. James Huber and I look forward to getting engaged in their reat work. The principles of the four-way test support what I do and say in my therapy practice."
