Collections Starting for Operation Warm 2026 - Opportunity to Buy Coats and Hoodies for Foster Kids

Backpack Program to Help Hungry Kids

Our club did an amazing job providing over 2,200 school supply necessities to help local students start the school year well-equipped and ready to learn.
Unfortunately, many students also experience hunger and food shortages outside of school hours. The Backpack program identifies children in need and sends them home with food/meals to provide nutrition for evenings and weekends. These items should be shelf stable/ heat and eat. Individually packaged portions that will travel well once stuffed in a backpack are necessary (ie, no glass). 

Please bring food by Wednesday 8/26 for our August service project. Once again, we will categorize and inventory all items collected. Remember to wear Rotary gear for group photo.

For more info, please contact Debbie Perry.

Andie let us know someone dropped 100 bucks in the CART bucket last week, so she challenged us to make that amount every week. She also said she and Jason are going to Montana, Ovando just so we know where she is… lest she goes missing…

Craig said to Andie “We will miss you!” and he agreed with Michelle morning hiking #1 and drinking #2 if we go to NC wine country this Spring. House is almost done - yea! Trip to Rock and Roll Hall of fame was fun, long drive through NY state, went to CT Rotary meeting - lots of old connections. His Dad and Mom were in a car accident met them in the ER, Father will be getting a pacemaker and Mom won’t be driving anymore. Welcome to visitor Beth - hope she is enjoying herself.
