Chris Ray spoke about two opportunities to donate to Rotary. "Give the Gift of Rotary" supports the Annual Fund and is held on December 1. "Colorado Gives Day" will be held on December 8 and is an opportunity to support a variety of local nonprofit organizations.
Debbie Setlock spoke about our Holiday Day of Service, as suggested by DG Bob Kent. The Longmont Rotary Club will sponsor a Food & Coat Drive to benefit the Little Pantry at First Lutheran Church. Non-perishable food items, hygiene kit items and new or gently used coats can be dropped off at Peggy Shupe's home from November 19-December 19. Debbie will send out more details in an email to club members.\
Dave Ferro reminded members about the Salvation Army Bell Ringing that Longmont Rotary will support at the King Soopers at Hover and Nelson Roads from Thanksgiving weekend through Christmas Eve. Due to COVID restrictions, our club will only ring the bell on weekends, and also Christmas Eve. Sign ups will be held via Sign Up Genius, https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508094fada92ca1fa7-bell2
