As December begins, the year is coming to a close.  Before we know it, it will be 2020. There are so many things that are special about December. Hanukah, Kwanza and Christmas are celebrated this month. These bring family and friends together for meals, spiritual and religious traditions, gift exchanges, and many gatherings to enjoy the season and each other.  Among all this activities, being a Rotarian should call us to make sure that the needs of our community, state, nation and world are being remembered.  Donations to Shelter Box or the Rotary Foundation are great ways to do this.  We will never know who benefits from these gifts, but we know that someone, somewhere will be touched by our caring.  Let’s join together by making a contribution that helps those in need end 2019 knowing and feeling that someone, somewhere cares about them.
