President's Corner
Dear Suburban Rotarian Friends,
 
Yesterday I accompanied Jennifer and Tom to deliver checks to our servers at Anthony’s. Smiles of gratitude spread over their faces as they opened your gifts. And I saw at least one tear. For these workers who are struggling to survive during the pandemic, your generosity will make their and their families’ Holiday.
 
Thank you for your kindness now and always. I know my words are redundant, but you really are the best.
 
Peace, Joy and Love,
Mary Bernier

Landen as a Paul Harris Fellow+3 for his donations of $4000.   The Rotary Foundation supports projects around the world to promote peace, literacy, health, and disease eradication.   Congratulations and thank you!

Join us on Zoom 
The Suburban Rotary Board of Directors made a decision to suspend hybrid meetings through the end of 2020 due to community spread of covid.  We will look to resume them in January if the situation improves. The Board will consider this decision at their 12/21 Board meeting.   We hope to see you online every week!
 
 
Please plan to join us every Thursday at noon for our regular meeting.  The meeting will open at 11:45 for greetings.  The meetings will start at 12:05.
