Help our friends in beirut

Please consider helping our friends in Beirut Lebanon who are recovering from the terrible explosion in the port. Rotary is active in Beirut and needs our help. Contributions can be sent to Forrest - please mark your contribution “Beirut Project.

Basic Education and Literacy month in Rotary

From Club President Ellen - I thought for the month of September when you need a little "Retail Therapy" whether you are out shopping or surfing the internet; that it would be great if you could pickup a book or two that we could donate to Literacy Volunteers.

You can bring your books to a Rotary meeting at MHAB or you can drop them by my office at 342 Tom Miller Rd. (the building behind the DFCU Branch).

Consider buying a young person a book. You never know, they may love it and become bookworms!!

Thanks for all you do for our Community!
