MEETINGS TO BE ALL VIRTUAL THROUGH THE HOLIDAY SEASON
Due to the uptick in cases and new guidelines, the Board of Directors has decided to make all meetings through the end of the year virtual. We will reevaluate at the beginning of the year. If you need any assistance joining the meeting via Zoom, please reach out to Ellen and we will arrange for a Rotarian to assist getting you set up.
HOLIDAY CARDS FOR SENIORS DUE 12/2
For the coming holiday season, the Rotary Club of Plattsburgh is collecting and giving holiday cards to local seniors. We are partnering with the Senior Citizens Council of Clinton County, Joint Council for Economic Opportunity, Valehaven, Meadowbrook, CVPH Skilled Nursing Facility, Plattsburgh Rehab and Nursing, Clinton County Nursing Home, Pine Harbour Assisted Living, Vilas Home and the Champlain Valley Senior Community. Learn more about how you can help here https://portal.clubrunner.ca/1408/Stories/holiday-cards
CHRISTMAS BUREAU GIFT DRIVE
Gifts can be dropped off to Vicki at her Booth Drive office, or directly to the Christmas Bureau located in Skyway Shopping Center this year. You can also drop gifts off to Lisa Mesec at the DFCU Operations Center behind the Tom Miller Road branch. Please be sure to attach a note to the gift with the child's name, age, and description you selected so that it can be distributed properly. Please DO NOT wrap the gift.
ORNAMENT SALES COMMITTEE
The new ornaments are ready to sell! This year the ornament has the well known PAFB "Santa on the Plane". The picture and coloring are very well done. Anyone with connections to Plattsburgh will want one of these ornaments! Contact Corn Forrence or Jody Maloy to order. They also have past ornaments, for those trying to fill their sets. You can purchase them at both Dannemora Federal Credit Union locations, UFirst Credit Union, and the Senior Citizens Council.
CHANGES TO ROTARY DUES
The Rotary Dues Statements will be going out November 1st and will be due December 1st. This change will enable Carmen Carpentier and Anne Cutaiar to make the necessary changes, to our membership roster, before we receive the District Billing Statement. Please advise Carmen or Anne, if you will not be continuing your Rotary membership for any reason. Memberships will be removed from the roster on December 15th, if dues are not up to date.
ROTARY FOUNDATION - LAST WEEK TO PARTICIPATE!
November is Rotary Foundation Month! Any amount helps. Our goal is for each Rotarian to make a donation of any amount each November.
You can submit your donation via check or money order to Forrest Edwards, Treasurer, 47 Dock Street, Plattsburgh, NY, 12901 or by clicking on the following url http://bit.ly/PlattRotaryFoundationCampaign to make your donation via credit card.
If you have any questions, you can contact Tony Searing (518 572-2250, Tsearing@gmail.com) for more information. With your help, we can make lives better in our community and around the world.
HOLIDAY MEAL PROGRAM
2020 marks the 14th year that our Rotary Club has helped needy families in Clinton County. The Plattsburgh Rotary Club's Holiday Meal Program is co-sponsored with J.C.E.O.
A list of needy families will be available from JCEO and Rotarians wishing to participate can sign up and commit to supplying all of the necessary ingredients for a holiday meal for a local family. JCEO will provide us with a list of needy families, number of adults and children in the family, home address and telephone number. Family assignments will be emailed to you around December 10th.
A list of suggested food items will be sent to you.
If you decide that you don't want to do the food shopping for a family, you can consider using Insta-Cart for purchasing and delivering the meal items. A third option is to purchase a Food Card from Walmart, not a gift card. The cards can be loaded with any amount from $20 - $100. The cards can be used to purchase a turkey or ham and the balance can be used to purchase produce, etc.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Bob Parks at bob.parks2016@gmail.com or call or text at (518) 578-8195.
