A NOTE FROM JIM NUTT ON ROTARY FOUNDATION GIVING
 
Thank you for participating so generously and so loyally in the Rotary Foundation this year.   You have helped make possible the hopes and plans of many Rotarians through their thoughtful grants to benefit people around the world, as well in our local communities.  I have  sent your contribution and the proper dorm into the Foundation today,  along with those of our other Club members,  to help ensure their deposit by the end of the year.  Thank you for helping.  
Jim

Ronald McDonald House Zip Tab Collecting
image
 
Please Help the Ronald McDonald House 


The Board has decided to ask our members to collect aluminum can zip tabs or 'pop tabs'. These can be found on not only soda cans but all sorts of canned drinks.  The local chapter of the Ronald McDonald House still collects them to turn in for recycling and proceeds go to help local families by paying family expenses to stay will their child is in the hospital.  Start a jar, they add up.  At the end of the year we will accumulate our collections and donate them to the Ronald McDonald House. Please see Vanessa Cossari for more information
