Our meeting this week was fun and interesting. Chef Tom made lasagna bolognese with an unusual and tasty watermelon salad as a side.
We had Judie Alessi O'Malley from Vet2Vet Maine as our speaker. Please take a second (literally, 1:58) to learn how the Vet2Vet program works. (Earlier this year our Board approved a $1000 donation from Company B to Vet2Vet Maine).
Recently, we have made a number of other high impact charitable donations as well, with the funds that you have raised from our minigolf, raffle, and syrup events:
- $1100 from Company B to cover rent for a Navy veteran whose VA disability case is on hold (referred from Sanford Vet Center)
- $500 to the Biddeford High School Odyssey of the Mind team to travel to their national competition
- $400 to Rotary Youth Leadership Academy to sponsor a camper from Biddeford
- $500 to the ArtBus program, which is a student arts program
- $1100 to cover the cost for free breakfast and lunch for a low-income/food insecure student that attends Thornton Academy
- $500 to My Breast Cancer Support for support services for a breast cancer patient
Happy Dollars:
